Climbing Plants

Make the most of vertical space in your garden.
This collection brings together a wide range of climbing plants that grow reliably in Irish gardens and gradually cover walls, fences, arches, and other supports.

Climbing plants make use of vertical space, covering walls, fences, arches and pergolas with foliage, flowers, fragrance or evergreen screening. They are one of the most effective ways to add height and soften hard boundaries without taking up much ground space. Ireland’s mild climate supports a broad range of climbers, but exposure matters because tall growth can catch strong wind. Matching the climber to the aspect, support and available root space is especially important beside buildings and in smaller gardens.

With a wide range to choose from, you can refine the collection by size, position and growing conditions to find plants that fit your garden.

Why It Works in Irish Gardens

Ireland’s mild climate supports a broad range of climbers, but exposure matters because tall growth can catch strong wind. Matching the climber to the aspect, support and available root space is especially important beside buildings and in smaller gardens.

Choosing the Right Plants

Choose a climber by vigour, mature spread, method of climbing and the strength of support available. Compact climbers suit trellis and smaller walls; vigorous plants need much more room.

Planting and Care

Provide secure supports from planting time, water while establishing and prune according to the species and flowering habit. Keep growth clear of gutters, roofs and other areas where it could become difficult to manage.
