Vine Garden Plants

Vines can be a beautiful addition to your garden. No matter how large or small your garden, there are a variety of ways to use vines. They are one of the most versatile of all garden plants. In any garden, they pay big dividends and take little space if grown vertically. This works out very well for the small garden. Even in the small garden, there is usually room for a trellis whether it is against the house, fence, garage or most any other structure. You can let them grow up an outer wall of your house, however, when doing this you will want to be very selective about which vine you choose. Some vines can destroy; siding and if they reach the roof they can even destroy the roofing.

There are small, slow growing vines, that can be used as a border in a small garden. Many vines can be grown in hanging baskets and be allowed to drape down, or trained to grow up. This works equally well for small and large gardens and is a great way to garden if you live in an apartment where there is no where else to plant. You can use vines in containers witch is a must for anywhere you garden. They can be sat in places in the larger garden to fill bare spots. They look great on decks, porches and balconies, again accommodating the person who may live in an apartment.

Vines can also be used in window boxes. Allowed to drape down, softening the siding on you house. In larger gardens, vines can be used in all of the same ways that they can in small gardens. They can also dress up arbors trellises, and pergolas. Use them to cover an ugly chain link fence. They soften fences and can provide a screen to give you more privacy. Some vines will require a more sturdy structure than others will. Let them grow up a tree or you can grow more delicate vines such as the Clematis up through shrubs providing -if planed properly- an attractive and versatile addtion to your garden.
