Shade-Loving Climbers Collection
Best Climbing Plants for Shade
-
In this collection, our growers will choose 3 (or 5/7 for the larger collections) of the very best, available 3L shade-loving climbers from the following selection:
- Climbing Hydrangea
- Clematis
- Chocolate Vine
- Crimson Glory Vine
- Virginia Creeper
- Ivy
- We can’t all be blessed in life with a sunny, south-facing garden, but that’s no reason not to be able to enjoy some amazing climbing plants.
- With that in mind, for this collection, our expert growers have meticulously curated a selection of some of the most wonderful shade-tolerant climbers out there.
- Whether you’ve got a part shaded (2-6 hours of sun) or fully shaded spot (less than 2 hours of sun) in the garden, there’s a climber in here for you. And trust us, these blockbuster wall-lovers will soon make you the envy of your sun-soaked neighbours across the street. Who needs that big orange blob in the sky, anyway?
- With a delightful array of both foliage and flowers, many of these climbers are also sumptuously-scented, too, with notes of vanilla, almond and chocolate.
- Grown by our specialist climbing nursery, in Worcestershire, these shady customers are sent to you in prime condition for planting, so go and get them in the soil!
