Climbing greenery is a collective term for all plants that find their way vertically along facades, pergolas, poles and fences. It is the solution for anyone who only has a small garden, facade or balcony. For example, it is enough to lift a tile to let a flowering climbing plant grow in that place. It is good to know that climbing plants also do well in containers. In no time at all you can enjoy fresh greenery and a sea of flowers, which in turn make bees flourish.
In this book you will get to know more than seven hundred species and cultivars divided into 40 groups. Which plants thrive best where? Which climbing aids do you need? How and when do you plant them? And above all: how do you ensure that your plant remains healthy for years? Roses, clematis, wisteria and ivy are discussed separately. For each group, attention was paid to the size of the climbing plant, the type, ornamental characteristics such as flower colour, flower size, scent, edible fruits, etc.
