If you’re like most homeowners, you would love to make your garden or landscape even more beautiful. Ornamental vines, such as English Ivy or Virginia Creeper, for example, can provide the beauty that you seek. Climbers benefit your garden or landscape in several ways. If you have a patio or deck, vines can act as shading on a trellis or arbor. And vines are attractive as a ground cover or as a covering for a wall or fence.

Vines offer several ornamental characteristics that make them worth considering. They can add a splash of autumn color, bright seasonal flowers, and colorful berries. And most are vertical growers, so they fit into small spaces where you can’t put traditional plants. This makes these types of plants ideal for providing shade, concealing unattractive areas in a landscape, and creating privacy. 

Several types are available. They all need a trellis or another plant on which to grow. When choosing your variety, it helps to know how they attach themselves. Clinging vines attach to any surface they touch. Sprawling vines require a trellis or some other form of support. Twining ones will usually wrap around anything nearby. Our best selling vines are the English Ivy and Creeping Myrtle.

Pruning is the best way to control vines that grow in your yard. Pruning prevents these plants from growing where you don’t want them. It also prevents them from becoming too cumbersome and unsightly. In most cases, you’ll want to prune your vines during the winter months. But no matter the time of year, you should prune your vines whenever necessary.

Keep in mind that vines require care and attention. You must keep them under control and within the bounds that you set. Otherwise, they are likely to attach to anything that sits in their path. Uncontrolled plants will also climb up or twine around nearby items. The key for using vines effectively is to keep them under control.
