Garden creepers are used not only by professionals in landscape design, but also when decorating a summer cottage. Such popularity is deserved, because it is these plants that look spectacular, not capricious, suitable for decorating walls.
Beautiful creepers can completely change the appearance of a summer cottage.
Varieties of climbing vines
Let’s immediately make it clear that creepers are the life form of plants, not a variety. All of them are divided into two main groups: perennials and annuals. Both species can be both decorative and fruit.
Today you will find out which curly vines are widely used in our country.
It is good if you think about planting flowering plants, despite the changing seasons - from spring to late autumn, so that some flowers replace others. For the planting of early flowering, undersized bulbs are suitable:
- crocuses
- snowdrops
- hyacinths
- undersized irises.
Succulents create an evergreen carpet, they are also drought tolerant - echeveria, pachyveria, sedum, sempervivum, young.
Grassy meadow - lilies of the valley, gentian, gypsophila, Iberis, saxifrage, tenacity, stonecrop, daisy, dolphin, thyme, periwinkle, bergenia.
Annual vines
Such plants are easy to care for, among them it is worth highlighting: morning glory, passionflower, decorative beans. There are many more varieties that are in demand when decorating a summer cottage. They differ in appearance, but they can be characterized in general terms, for example, annual lianas have long stems on which there are no lateral branches.
All plants of this species look attractive especially during the blooming of flowers. Annuals can become the best decor for balconies, terraces, fences in general for the entire site.
It is better to plant vines in sunny places. Remember that when planting seeds should not fall into other flowers. A small germ is able to completely displace the neighboring culture.
Perennial view of vines
Representatives of this group are suitable for decorating the entire infield. Let's take a closer look at the popular perennial creepers for the garden.
Climbing rose
Flowering, which lasts a long time, has influenced widespread distribution. The buds open only once, without changing their original appearance by autumn.
Provide suitable living conditions for the rose; choose a landing site where the warm sunshine is constantly located. The plant is not demanding, so you can safely plant the seeds in ordinary soil.
When frost begins, you need to take care of the vines. Carefully wrap the plant and save new shoots, and they will delight the beauty of the new flowering next year. Sprinkle the roots with sawdust, and hide the branches in a non-woven material.
Ivy
Kind of vines feels good even in Siberia. An unpretentious plant survives, despite different temperatures. For some, ivy is a decorative decoration, and sometimes gardeners throw it along with weeds.
Thanks to the dense foliage in the courtyard there will be a shady corner, but the wall along which the liana weaves will never be wet. If you liked the look, make normal conditions for full growth.Tighten the wire supports horizontally and vertically.
As soon as the first seedlings appear in the ground, fix them at the bottom of the structure. No need to thin out the foliage, you can cut only those shoots that begin to grow outside the support.
Winding grapes
A wild plant is able to cling to all rough surfaces. Unpretentiousness influenced the cultivation of grapes. It is used for decoration of various objects and fences.
Perfectly fits in the cottage area near the house or gazebo. Initially, the plant pleases with beautiful bright green leaves. In the fall they turn red.
Be sure to build a design for wild grapes. This ensures good and fast growth. If you are going to decorate a two-story country house with plants, then you should know that the weight of the vine is large, so secure the supports with bolts.
As for leaving, everything is as simple as that: in spring you need to trim old branches that could not survive the frosts and those that grow in breadth.
Honeysuckle
This type of plant differs from its relatives in the flowering buds. Some flowers bloom, while others have beautiful leaves. Therefore, some types of honeysuckle belong to flowering vines for the garden.
The period of bud blooming is special - at night the plant produces a pleasant aroma that is felt throughout the district. In general, honeysuckle is not demanding; it takes root well in all soils. But in order for growth to be intense, it is better to plant the plant in sandy or loamy soil.
Liana withstands attacks of harmful garden insects. Young roots may freeze with the onset of winter. But already in the spring new shoots appear and grow quite quickly.
In order for honeysuckle to endure frosts without problems, in November it must be laid on sawdust and wrapped in non-woven material. In the spring, when new shoots appear, they are fixed on last year's support. If the plant has been living for more than two years, it may not be warmed.

Clematis
Probably one of the few plants that has beautiful flowers. The shade of inflorescences depends on the variety of clematis. Thanks to the variety, gardeners have the opportunity to choose exactly what best fits into the cottage.
Unlike other vines, clematis is demanding and moody. He needs a lot of heat and sunlight. Normal soil does not work, plant a plant in the ground with admixtures of sand or clay.
The adult liana is heavy, so build a strong vertical structure. For support, a building polymer mesh in which large cells are suitable. Before nailing the material to the wall, attach it to the wooden crate.
Extra branches, and they are very fragile, are cut off when the height of the vine is more than 2 meters. Thanks to pruning, new shoots will appear very soon. But when deleting old branches, you need to know some nuances. If you saw that it was time to thin out the clematis, invite a specialist and explain the situation.

On my site I really want to create my own paradise. There is not much space, so the fantasy should grow up. I like the idea of creepers. It looks aesthetically pleasing, quite unusual, but very natural. In this article I found useful information on caring for vines, on how to save them in the cold season. A photo gallery filled me with a variety of ideas for beautiful compositions.
Earlier, I generally didn’t like Liana, to be honest, until I saw them with my girlfriend in the garden. I like curly ones, because they really transform the external decor of a house or a fence. At first, I tried to plant annuals, but I had to deal with them a lot. Therefore, in the end, I opted for perennial. Another climbing rose variety looks beautiful on the site.
Great article, very well illustrated with cool pics. Personally, I really like hedges based on loaches of any type. Recently, my husband returned from a trip to Italy. Very struck by the nature of Abruzzo. There, in small villages, it is customary to exhibit any plants directly in pots and tubs on personal plots. It looks very unusual and somehow at home.
Lianas - the author showed a large number of species in the photo - this is both beautiful and useful. I remember at my house in the village one wall was constantly damp. Whatever he did, until, on the advice of his friends, he launched a hop liana on the wall. The effect came quickly and exceeded all expectations. Along the rest of the walls, let out vines of perennial flowers. Beautiful, you look and the eye rejoices.
