Garden vines can provide a lot of benefits to your garden. They are very easy to take care of and to maintain. They do not require much maintenance but still they require some care and attention if you want to grow healthy and long-lived vines in your garden. Vines can be used for decorative purposes also like on gates, fences, walls or just for beauty. You can grow them inside or outside your home.
The first thing you should keep in mind is that you should choose the appropriate type of plant for your trellis. Take for example, you can get trellis plants that are suitable for flowering only or those that can also support flowering plants as well as fruit-bearing ones. It all depends on the climatic conditions of the area you live in. There are other types that can grow easily without any worry about the insects that attack them. Some varieties have a hardy character and are resistant to a certain temperature and some varieties of these vines can even tolerate moderate temperatures.
The next thing you should think about is the time of the year you want to plant them. You should plant them either during the fall or the spring season. Spring season is a good time to plant these vines because they need to be established before the flowers come out. If you want to plant them near your garden then you can plant them one month prior to the flower buds come out. This will give them enough time to grow.
Now, you should select which direction you would like the vines to grow. If you want them to face away from your house, you can plant them on one side of the wall. However, if you want them facing your house then you can plant one in each wall. Just make sure that you make the trellis as straight as possible. A little twist here and there will result to vines that look untidy.
You should also consider the type of vines you want to plant. There are two popular types of these vines namely the climbing vine or rambler and the climbing clematis. Both types of these vines have different characteristics but the important thing that remains the same is that they both produce beautiful flowers high up in the air. The only difference between the two is the height of the flowers. The clematis produces flowers that grow higher than those produced by the rambler. These flowers are produced while the rambler produces flowers that grow closer to the ground.
When you have decided the type of these vines you want to plant, the next thing that you need to do is to decide where you want them to be planted. Some of these plants can be grown almost anywhere, although the best place for them would be in an area that receives direct sunlight all the time. For instance, if you plant them in the garden then it would be best if the trellis can be placed directly above the flower plants.
There are several types of these vines that you can use in your garden. For instance, you can use trellises that will cover part of your flower beds or you can use a single trellis that will cover the entire garden. Once you have decided what you want to do with the trellis, you now have to think about how you are going to plant them. Some of the plants produce flowers on their own; others require that you support them with a trellis. For instance, you cannot plant a clematis on its own and if you want to plant a raspberry or an azalea or two then it is important that you support them with a trellis.
There are some other things that you can do if you are looking for a decorative piece in your garden. Some of these plants can also act as a windbreak. Some of them can even provide you shade in hot summer days. Trellises are definitely a good choice for your garden.
