When creating a garden, climbing plants are excellent materials for making flower walls. I wonder how many of the following climbing plants suitable for making flower walls you have ever cultivated?

Rosa multiflora

Flowering period: From April to September. The flowers are small and come in a rich variety of colors, such as pink, white, and red. When they are in full bloom, it is like a sea of flowers.

Maintenance: Rosa multiflora prefers an environment with sufficient sunlight and good ventilation. It has low requirements for the soil, but it grows better in fertile and loose soil. Water it moderately to avoid overly wet soil. Apply a thin solution of cake fertilizer water once every half month during the growing season. Increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers during the bud-bearing period. Prune the withered flowers in a timely manner after flowering to promote secondary blooming.

Bougainvillea

Flowering period: Depending on the variety and maintenance environment, the flowering period varies. Generally, it is from October to June of the following year. The colors are bright, including red, pink, purple, etc. It can climb and attach to the courtyard wall through training and pruning.

Maintenance: Bougainvillea likes sunlight, and insufficient light will affect its flowering. It is suitable for growing in loose and well-drained soil. Water it according to the principle of "water only when the soil is dry, and water thoroughly when watering". Control the water appropriately before the flowering period to promote flower bud differentiation. Apply a thin liquid fertilizer once every 1-2 weeks during the vigorous growth period, and increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers during the flowering period.

Clematis

Flowering period: Early-flowering varieties bloom from April to May, and late-flowering varieties bloom from June to September. The flowers have an elegant shape and a variety of colors, and it is known as the "Queen of Vine Flowers".

Maintenance: Clematis likes light but is afraid of direct strong light. It needs appropriate shading in summer. It likes warmth, has strong cold resistance, is not drought-tolerant, and avoids waterlogging. It is suitable for growing in fertile, well-drained, and alkaline loam. Adjust the watering according to the seasons to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Apply a thin liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing period, and increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before the flowering period.

Rose

Flowering period: The climbing rose has a relatively long flowering period. In a suitable environment, it can last from May to November. The flowers are large, bright, and come in a rich variety of colors.

Maintenance: Roses like sufficient sunlight and need at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. They are suitable for growing in loose, fertile, and organic-rich soil. Water them when the soil is dry and avoid waterlogging. Apply a thin liquid fertilizer once every 10 days or so during the growing season. Prune the withered flowers in a timely manner after flowering, and carry out heavy pruning in winter to promote the sprouting of new branches in the coming year.

Morning Glory

Flowering period: From June to October. The flowers are small and bell-shaped, and the petals are light purple, blue, or white. They open in the morning.

Maintenance: Morning glories like sufficient sunlight and are tolerant of drought and poor soil. They have no strict requirements for the soil. When maintaining them, do not water too much, and just keep the soil slightly moist. Apply 1-2 thin liquid fertilizers during the growing period to promote the growth and flowering of the plants. Since it grows rapidly, it is necessary to train and prune it in a timely manner to maintain its beauty.

Wisteria sinensis

Flowering period: From April to May. The flowers are purple or white and hang in clusters on the vines, as spectacular and romantic as a purple waterfall.

Maintenance: Wisteria sinensis likes light and is slightly shade-tolerant, with relatively strong cold resistance. It is suitable for planting in soil with a deep layer and good drainage. Water it following the principle of "water only when the soil is dry, and water thoroughly when watering". Apply an organic fertilizer once before the buds sprout in spring, and appropriately top-dress with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers during the growing period to promote flowering. Prune the withered flowers in a timely manner after flowering, and prune the branches in winter to adjust the tree shape.

These climbing plants each have their own characteristics. Whether you choose one of them to create a simple flower wall, it will surely become the focal point.
