There is nothing more satisfying than upgrading your home. And thanks to VidaXL you can find everything you need in one place. So, if you are looking for new ways to make your garden look beautiful – getting an arch, or a pergola, or another type is a great idea. Whatever you choose, you will be adding either a beautiful entrance or a beautiful focal point to your outdoor space.

They will bring color, beauty, and wonderful fragrances to your outdoor space. Here are some of the best climbing plants for garden arches, trellises, arbours, or pergolas.

#Wisteria

This vigorous climber is one of the best choices you can make for your structure. The Wisteria has pastel-colored flowers, smells amazing, and creates a beautiful addition to your garden. However, it does have heavy woody vines that will need a strong structure to host them. Other than that this plant loves the sun and flowers usually during May and June.

Who doesn’t love a good, classic rose? This is one of the most romantic climbing plants and will make your garden feel like it’s straight out of a fairy tale. This plant does need full sun, but if it gets it, it will reward you with beautiful, lush rosette-shaped flowers with a strong, pleasant scent from June to August.

This beautiful climbing plant ranges in colors: whites, yellows, and pinks. It also attracts a lot of wildlife thanks to its nectar-rich flowers.

#Trumpet Vine

The Trumpet Vine gets its name from the shape of its flowers, which are a deep red-orange color and appear during the later months of summer. It’s a perennial flower that may need a bit of pruning every now and again, but other than that is pretty low-maintenance. If you want a good mix of green and color, then this is a great choice for your arch.
