Evergreen Climbers for Irish Gardens

What This Collection Brings to the Garden

Evergreen climbers keep useful foliage through winter and can provide year-round coverage on walls, fences, screens and other supports.

Evergreen climbers soften walls and fences while keeping foliage through winter, making them useful for year-round screening where ground space is limited. Some also add flowers or fragrance without losing their structural role.

Why It Works in Irish Gardens

Ireland’s mild climate suits several evergreen climbers, particularly in sheltered positions. Because evergreen foliage catches winter wind, secure support and protection from the most exposed sites can improve performance.

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.
