Have you ever thought that rapidly growing summer climbers are the simplest and most natural solution to shade pergolas and fences? Here are three perfect varieties to transform your outdoor space into a fresh and lush refuge.
When the heat makes itself felt and staying outdoors it becomes almost a challenge, a well -placed climbing can change everything. It is not just a matter of shadow: there are those who are looking for more privacy, those who want to add a green touch, those who simply need to shield too much bare fence. And let’s face it, those leaves that climb and intertwine almost everywhere they manage to give a soul to the most anonymous corners.
If then the idea is to obtain a scenographic effect in a short time, then better to focus on varieties that are not prayed. Some seem to life as soon as they take root: within a few weeks they begin to climb, to widen, as if they were impatient to cover every free space. With an improvised grate or just a few well -tense threads, you can attend a surprising transformation. And no, you don’t need to be expert gardeners: just spot the right choice and let nature do its job.
Passiflora: exotic, resistant and unpredictable

In a short time it climbs everywhere you find a foothold. Everything can become the base for a flourishing wall: wrapping, railings, panels, light structures. If you choose a variety that also produces the fruits of the passion, the bonus is double. He loves the sun, he is also well in half shadow and has no great pretensions. It is enough that the ground is well drained and that it does not stagnate, and in areas with mild climate does not even need winter protections.
He marries very well with a little wild gardens, but also makes his figure in the most well -kept ones. And then he has that way his own to grow: not too orderly, never banal. Leaving it free is often the best choice. As soon as he gets confidence with the space, he transforms it.

Perfect for wooden pergolasnaturally clings to the supports and creates a sort of green and flowery tunnel that tastes of vacation, of distant places. And if you have a gate or a railing to cover, there too can do its part. But it must be said: the wisteria is character. If left free, it tends to conquer not his own spaces. Better to give him a robust and decisive structure, something that knows how to hold his energy.
In return, it offers fragrant shadow, a relaxing atmosphere and a really pleasant sensation of freshness. Every spring restarts stronger, and with a little fertilizer in the right months, it becomes more and more generous. Someone prefers it wildest, letting him express themselves as he wants, others often proud it to keep it under control: in both cases, it remains one of the most scenographic presences that can be desired in the garden.

L’mepome It is the climbing for those who are in a hurry. A real green splinter. It does not have time to sprout that already begins to rise, flourish, expand. In a few days the face of one changes fence, an arc or a light pergolamaking them alive and colorful.
