Have an empty trellis that needs some decoration? Do you despair every time you glance at an empty wall? Climbing plants are the answer!

With several varieties to grow through each season, there’s certainly no limit to what you can achieve throughout the year. If you're after the best climbing plants to grow in your garden, then here are just a few of our favourites that can add colour to your displays come late winter and early spring.

Winter Jasmine

Flowering in late winter through to spring, Winter Jasmine produces the most impressive blooms in shades of yellow. Its foliage lasts from spring to autumn too, so this plant is a perfect all-rounder that provides colour all year round! You can buy Winter Jasmine now to plant this autumn.

Clematis

Clematis comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes, colours and shades. However, if you’re after the perfect variety that will brighten up your displays when not much else will, Clematis Winter Beauty is another top pick for the best climbing plants for winter and early spring.

Honeysuckle

Similar to Clematis, Honeysuckle plants are a huge range of varieties, all flowering at different times of the year. You’ve probably seen Honeysuckle more in the Summer or late Spring, but one variety of Honeysuckle can be grown now to see in late Winter and early Spring. Honeysuckle Winter Beauty is a must for the season, producing elegant white blooms that are highly fragrant and floriferous!

Wisteria sinensis

Speaking of the best climbing plants for your garden, wisteria is certainly up there. Wisteria sinensis, for example, is both highly impressive and fragrant! A perfect choice for adding to your climbing plant collection. These beauties flower for months on end, often from early spring right into late summer. With a selection of shades, this plant will brighten any area of the garden with ease.

Foliage & Evergreen Climbers

Last but certainly not least, foliage heavy plants. This includes the likes of Ivy (like Boston Ivy) and some Clematis varieties like Clematis armandii. These plants will provide bouts of foliage all year round, Spring to Winter! Boston Ivy’s foliage will change colour with the seasons, and Clematis armandii provides glorious blooms in the Summer.
