Climbing Flowers & Plants
As many people are staying home these days, gardening can be a relaxing home improvement to spend your time. Climbing plants can give your yard an organic and inviting feel and add beautiful ambience.
Here are some of the beautiful climbers we carry at the Nursery:
Allamanda: Fastest growing vine with bright yellow blooms. Great vine to have around a patio or pool. But be careful — their seeds are poisonous to humans and animals.
Bougainvillea: This vine is a tropical plant that loves Florida heat and requires full sun to create such vibrant blooms. They will bloom most of the year right up until winter in our zone and climb quickly.
Bleeding heart: Another tropical vine that thrives with full shade or morning sun. This vine has dark green leaves and clusters of red-and-white flowers that can be pruned into the shape of your choice.
Carolina jasmine: This vine has a fragrant, yellow bloom and can grow to 25 feet. They bloom in late winter/early spring and thrive in this zone — as long as we don’t have a harsh winter.
Mandevilla: Loves the Florida heat but needs some shade in the hottest part of the day. Also an easy grower, this vine comes in a variety of bright colors.
Confederate jasmine: Easy grower in partial-to-full sun. They grow to be at least 6 feet long and bloom a small white flower each May.
Passion vine: This vine creates a 3D flower in purple that butterflies love. They can grow in full sun or partial shade and up to 25 feet tall.
Flower of the Week: Bougainvillea
