Plants by Type


Climbers

They create living walls of delight, with a curtain of flowers and foliage, extending the flowering range of our gardens. Many climbers will also make very effective ground covers. There are climbers for almost every site. Most of them prefer to be planted with their roots in the cool shade, allowing the stems to climb towards the sun.

Self-clinging
Self-clinging, these climbers will have aerial roots or adhesive tendril tips which give them the ability to scale a wall or tree trunk without added support. Many of these can be used as ground cover over banks.

Scandent/hooked
These climbers have hooked thorns or long scandent stems which require the support of a wall, hedge or tree over or into which to scramble. Many of these can be used as ground cover over banks.

Twining large
These climbers use twining stems, curling tendrils or curling petioles which require support other than that of a flat surface up which to grow. This group can climb up to over 5 metres high.

Twining medium
These climbers use twining stems, curling tendrils or curling petioles which require support other than that of a flat surface up which to grow. This group will generally not climb anymore than 5 metres high.
