Vining plants that will transform your home & garden into a fairy-tale oasis
Vining plants are the easiest way to turn your garden space or even your home into a jungle-inspired fairy tale. These climbing plants start out small, but soon enough they develop and start reaching new heights. Literally! These beautiful flowering vines will help you make the best of a smaller garden space. They can grow not only vertically, but also horizontally and sideways, which gives you a lot of opportunities to experiment with the look of these vining plants. Remember that some of these vivacious plants need extra support when growing and climbing like a trellis or an arbor, while other varieties will do just fine growing along your fence, patio, or placed indoors in a hanging basket. So, without further ado, let’s get into the most beautiful outdoor and indoor vining plants for your garden and home space:
Let’s see which are the best vining plants you can add to your home and garden
Outdoor Vining Plants
#Morning Glory
Morning glory is a traditional climber with gorgeous blue-purple blossoms that has graced gardens for years. It grows up to ten feet tall, is easy to cultivate from seed, and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. In some regions, morning glory might be deemed aggressive or invasive, so check with your local garden center before planting.

#Bougainvillea
When it comes to rose alternatives, bougainvillea is a close second. The robust plants, like roses, have prickly thorns, so be careful when cutting the vines. The flowers can be a variety of colors, and the plants are hardy enough to withstand light winter. Even yet, bougainvillea only grows outside year-round in the warmest climates (zones 9 to 11). If you want to receive the most blossoms, make sure it’s in a sunny location.

#Honeysuckle
Although many Honeysuckle shrubs are invasive, the vining variety is completely safe to grow. When trained to climb up arbors, they put on a spectacular show! Their perfume is incredibly seductive, and they have magnificent clusters of blossoms in a stunning rainbow of hues. Larger kinds can fill an entire lattice wall to create a privacy screen, while dwarf varieties can be grown in a container with a modest trellis. It attracts beautiful pollinators, especially hummingbirds, who cannot get enough of these sweet-scented blossoms. They yield berries when the blooms fade, which the local birds will happily eat.

#Sweet Pea Vine
Sweet peas come in a variety of colors, from white to pale pink to salmon to blue, and have a beautiful, subtle aroma. This annual vine is an old-fashioned favorite that gives any garden a cottage-style feel. They are easy to grow from seed, but should be planted as soon as the soil can be worked outside in early spring; soak the seeds overnight to help them germinate faster. You can plant other annuals in front of your sweet pea vine to provide shade for the roots. Sweet peas like full sun, but prefer their roots to be shaded. They don’t like it when it’s too hot outside, therefore they usually fade by summer.

Consider growing a native cultivar like “Blue Moon” or “Amethyst Falls” if you have a patio pergola. Those bewitching blooms dangle from the ceiling, producing a scene that is almost too lovely to be true. And since the Wisteria is a native perennial plant, you may rest assured that its upkeep and maintenance will be as simple as it can get.

#Heartleaf Philodendron
The sweetheart or heartleaf philodendron is an amazing plant for beginners who are terrible at keeping plants alive. They come in a number of stunning colors and can be kept as lively, bushy plants or graceful trailers, and they are so easy to keep healthy. One of the best qualities of philodendrons’ adaptability is their ability to thrive in low light. Plants that are exposed to medium or indirect light, on the other hand, will grow more quickly and generate more lush leaves. Direct sunlight should be avoided when growing philodendrons.
