Evergreen Climbing Plants Buy UK

Clinging to walls and fences, creating a living screen, climbers are one of the most popular types of plant in many UK gardens. Climbers can be trained against walls to ‘green’ and soften a building, disguising fences and ugly structures, as an evergreen screen against trellis, as a backdrop to other specimen plants, growing through the branches of trees to provide a second flourish of interest and even in some cases being used as a feature plant in their own right.

In this post we’re discussing the role of evergreen climbers. Perceived as the not so glamorous cousins of the showy clematis or rambling rose, these hardy evergreen climbers are an essential part of any garden design and we want to give them centre stage here. For they provide a back-drop or screen of green with which to create the defining features of the rest of your garden design. By remaining clothed throughout the year they maintain their lushness during the harsh winter months and as soon as spring arrives, they will put on an impressive display of not only flowers but some of these varieties also have the most divine fragrance.
All the Climbing Plants mentioned here are available to buy online from the Paramount Plants Website. We deliver throughout the UK.
