Climbing plant for trellis

Climbing plant for trellis

Postby TonTri » Wed Sep 27, 2017 9:22 am

We have a fairly low wall to the front and side of our apartment and are thinking of adding trellis to give us a bit more privacy. Can anyone recommend a fairly fast growing climber that flowers in summer and is drought resistant other than bourgainvillea? I dont want the thorns as it is a sun trap terrace where people lounge.

Would something like Passion Flower, Honeysuckle or Star Jasmine be ok?

I personally would go for stephanotis and you can get a healthy fairly well established plant from most markets at around 5 to 8 euros with a tall much more established plant at about 15 euros. I think they are beautiful.

Thank you TootandPloot. I have just googled it and it does look lovely.

Do you know what it is called in Spanish or do they sell it under the Latin name? And will it survive winters in Quesada?

Just look for Stephanotis. Yes they survive winters so long as you abide by care instructions or google how to look after it.
