Climbers

WHY CHOOSE CLIMBING PLANTS FOR YOUR NEXT LANDSCAPE DESIGN?  Incorporating climbing plants into your landscape design offers numerous benefits. Whether you're aiming for a lush garden wall, an enchanting archway, or a vibrant pergola, climbers, creepers and vines will elevate your landscape design with vertical interest.

Vertical Elegance: Incorporating climbing plants adds a sense of height and drama to your landscape design. They are also a clever way to disguise ugly fences and walls, creating a green, living wall.

Unique Outdoor Spaces: Bring the indoors outside by creating unique garden rooms. Use climbing plants to cover pergolas and other structures, creating clever, sheltered outdoor spaces for relaxation or dining. At Plantmark, we offer a wide range of climbing plants suitable for climbing pergolas and structures, such as Virginia Creeper, Wisteria and Boston Ivy.

Year Around Interest: Climbing plants can provide year-around interest to your landscape design. Choose deciduous ornamental vines for a lush green canopy under a pergola during summer, followed by a fabulous autumn display as leaves change colors and maximum light in winter as the leaves drop off. A great example is Vitis vinifera, an ornamental grape vine with attractive autumn colours of orange, red and purple. You can also opt for fruiting climbers such as Passionfruit [Passiflora edulis] or flowering climbers such as the classic Wisteria sinensis for a spectacular flower display.

Space Optimization: Climbing plants are excellent space-savers, making them ideal for smaller gardens and urban spaces, while creating a lush green space. Or why not create an increasingly popular vertical garden, maximizing greenery even in limited spaces. Consider plants that are ideal for green walls such as the many cascading plants available at Plantmark. Maidenhair Fern [Adiantum raddianum Fragrans], Kidney Weed [Dichondra argentea Silver Falls] and Ruby Necklace [Othonna capensis] that even if not climbers, are all great examples of plants ideal for vertical gardens.

Aesthetic Versatility: From classic climbers to modern varieties, our extensive range caters to diverse preferences. Whether you're aiming for a traditional, romantic feel or a contemporary look, we have the right climbing plants to suit your vision.

PLENTY OF OPTIONS AVAILABLE: At Plantmark, we believe in creating sustainable and low-maintenance landscapes. That's why our range of climbing plants includes not only beautiful varieties but also hardy, native and easy-to-care-for options. Whether you're designing a small courtyard, a spacious backyard, or a commercial space, we have climbing plants that will suit every space and style.

Enchanting Roses: Embrace the timeless beauty and nostalgia of climbing roses like Rosa Albertine and Rosa Blue Moon. These varieties not only add height but also infuse your garden with a captivating fragrance, creating a truly magical atmosphere. Climbing roses come to their own when softening walls and structures or when planted over arches, obeliscs or pergolas, creating a magnificent feature when in full bloom. 

Evergreen Wonders: Opt for evergreen climbing plants to enjoy year-round greenery. These plants not only provide visual interest but also contribute to the structure of your garden design. Explore our selection of classic and unique evergreen climbers, including Creeping Fig [Ficus pumila] and popular Ivy varieties such English Ivy, Boston Ivy and Canary Island Ivy.

Fast Growing Climbing Plants: If you're looking for rapid coverage and a quick transformation of your space, our collection of fast-growing climbers is just what you need. These plants are known for their vigorous growth and ability to create a lush vertical garden in no time. With a variety of options available, you can achieve your desired result efficiently and quickly. Make sure to research your options too, and choose non-invasive climbing plants for your design. Check with your council first, and always plant with care, taking into consideration the local environment. Fast growing vines and creepers we love include Mandevilla, Creeping Fig [Ficus pumila], Boston Ivy and Star Jasmine varieties. Pink Jasmine or Jasminum Polyanthum is especially vigorously growing.

Australian Native Climbing Plants: Embrace the beauty of Australia's native flora with our selection of Australian native vines and climbers. These natives are well-suited to our climate, making them low-maintenance and resilient choices for your garden design. By incorporating native and indigenous climbers, you can create a truly authentic Australian native garden while supporting local biodiversity - and our native climbers are stunning too! Some of our favourites varieties include Hardenbergia [False Sarsaparilla or Purple Coral Pea], such as Hardenbergia Happy Wanderer and Hardenbergia White Out. Other captivating natives include Pandorea jasminoides [Bower of Beauty or Wonga Wonga], such as White Bower of Beauty [Pandorea jasminoides Lady Di] and Pink Bower of Beauty [Pandorea jasminoides Pink Magic]. Last but not least, Wonga Wonga Vines  [Pandorea pandorana] bring a lush and almost tropical look to both full sun and deep shade positions with their abundance of trumpet shaped, small flowers and lush, deep green foliage.

Flowering and Fragrant Climbers: Transform your vertical spaces into a floral paradise with our flowering climbing plants. Enjoy the beauty of classic climbers such as Wisteria, celebrated for their spectacular curtains of blooms as they climb and cascade over pergolas, porches and verandahs. Many flowering vines and climbers, such as Jasmine and Honeysuckle varieties are also loved for their fragrance, adding another dimension to an outside space. Or why not add a burst of colour with vibrant climbing plants such as Bougainvillea, Mandevilla and Clematis. With their stunning blooms, these climbing plants are perfect for trellises and arbors, adding vibrancy to your vertical landscapes.

Climbing Plants for Shade: While many climbers and vines thrive in sunny positions there are still options when it comes to shade-loving climbers. Our all time favourite for covering a fence in a shaded position is Star Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides). Boasting evergreen glossy foliage and fragrant white, star-shaped flowers in summer, Star Jasmine will quickly cover any eye-sores. Or why not go with a native option? Wonga Wonga Vines [Pandorea pandorana] will tolarate any position from full sun to deep shade, providing a pretty, tropical looking display of flowers in spring. Varieties include Pandorea pandorana Snowbells boasting clusters of creamy white flowers in spring and Pandorea pandorana Wonga Gold with masses of striking, deep golden-orangy flowers. Other shade-loving climbers include Creeping Fig and Ivy varieties.

Climbing Plants for Full Sun: There's plenty of choice when it comes to climbing plants that thrive in full sun, embracing the Australian sunshine with grace. From the vivid charm of Bougainvillea Plum Crazy to the rapid growth of Wonga Wonga Vine [Pandorea pandorana] these climbers bring enduring beauty to sunlit spaces. If you have a full sun position why not consider fruiting climbers such as Passionfruit or Grape Vines. At Plantmark we also stock climbers that thrive from temperate to tropical climates, such as the Madagascan Jasmine [Stephanotis floribunda], Snail Vine [Vigna caracalla] and Hoya varieties. 

PLANTING AND MAINTENANCE TIPS FOR CLIMBING PLANTS:

Support and Structure: Some climbing plants require adequate support structures like trellises, arches, or pergolas for the climbing plants to thrive and ascend gracefully. Others will attach themselves to walls without any support at all! Make sure to research your chosen climbers to understand their support needs.

Soil Preparation: Ensure well-drained soil enriched with organic matter to promote healthy growth. Consider using quality compost and fertilizers for optimal results.

Regular Pruning: Promote controlled growth and shape your climbing plants through regular pruning. This not only enhances aesthetics but also maintains plant health.

Watering and Sunlight: Be mindful of watering needs, especially during dry spells, and ensure your climbing plants receive sufficient sunlight for vigorous growth and blooming.
