Climbers and Wall Shrubs • Climbing plants are adapted to climb or scramble up or over suitable supports. • Wall shrubs have no adaptations for climbing and require careful training and tying in to supports Climbers for Warm Walls • South and west facing walls are warmer than north or east facing • Warm walls absorb heat during the day and act like a storage heater, gradually releasing heat as the ambient temperature falls Abutilon megapotamicum • Semi evergreen half hardy shrub • Grow in a conservatory in cold areas Actinidia kolomikta • Vigorous, deciduous climber • Variegation is best in full sun • Small fragrant white flowers in summer • Female plants produce egg shaped yellow green fruits if both male and female plants are grown together Ceanothus ‘Autumnal Blue’ • Vigorous evergreen shrub • Sky blue flowers late summer – autumn • Suitable for informal training on walls • One of the hardiest cultivars Clematis rehderiana • Rampant, deciduous climber • Flowers best on a warm wall • Small, bell shaped, scented, pale yellow flowers mid summer autumn Passiflora caerulea • Vigorous semi evergreen climber • Flowers summer – autumn • Orange (inedible) fruits may develop in warm summers Solanum crispum ‘Glasnevin’ • Woody stemmed, fast growing, semi evergreen climber • Fragrant purple flowers mid summer - autumn followed by small pale yellow fruits Wisteria sinensis • Vigorous, woody, deciduous climber • Long dangling racemes of scented, lilac flowers late spring – early summer Climbers and Wall Shrubs for Cold Walls • North facing walls receive little direct sunlight. Only plants adapted to growing in shady conditions will thrive there • East facing walls may receive direct sunlight for several hours per day. In winter and early spring this warmth early in the day can damage frozen buds by causing rapid thawing Chaenomeles speciosa ‘Moerloosei’ • Fast growing deciduous shrub with tangled, spiny braches • White flowers, flushed pink, in early spring followed by aromatic fruits, used for jam making, in autumn Clematis montana ‘Elizabeth’ • Vigorous, deciduous climber • Pink, slightly scented flowers in spring • Thrives in any aspect Garrya elliptica ‘James Roof’ • Bushy, upright, quick growing, evergreen shrub • Long silky catkins in winter can be used as cut flowers Hedera helix • Vigorous, evergreen, woody stemmed ,self clinging climber • Many cultivars available. • Varied leaf forms from heart shaped to deeply lobed and many colour variations • May damage paintwork or invade gutters unless kept under control Hydrangea anomala subsp. petiolaris • Woody stemmed, self clinging, deciduous climber • Large lace cap cream flowers in summer • Often slow to establish Parthenocissus tricuspidata and P.quinquifolia • Vigorous, self clinging, deciduous climber • Leaves turn scarlet in autumn Tropaeolum speciosum • Herbaceous climber • Bright vermillion flowers in summer and autumn, followed by bright blue fruits • Very effective contrast with dark green hedging such as yew
