Moving On Up: Climbing Plants

This variety of ivy is extremely fast growing with triangular, dark-green leaves that will grow almost anywhere.

Pergolas and arches have long been used in garden designs providing strong vertical elements in a garden. They help to frame openings and provide welcome shade for walkways or benches. They are usually covered with climbing plants.

The pink and red petals of the clematis give a glowing look to these striking blooms.

Hookers, as on roses and brambles, use the thorns along their stems to hoist themselves up over their support.
