Robust creeping spindle for the garden
The crawling spindle “Emerald'n Gold”is a climbing plant with compact growth and beautiful green leaves with a yellow edge that turn pink in autumn. The plant is very easy to care for and robust, only needs a climbing aid in the first year and can also cope without pruning.

Hardy climbing plants: star jasmine for the balcony
The hardy star jasmineis a bushy, slow-growing shrub that can reach a maximum height of 5 meters. However, it tolerates topiary cuts and can be kept compact if necessary. In May and June it bears its small, delicate white flowers that exude a gentle aroma. The star jasmine is the perfect climbing plant for the balcony, garden fence or pillar.

The shallow-rooted plant needs nutrient-rich soil so that it can then sprout vigorously.
Fast-growing, hardy climbing plants
The next climbing plants are not only hardy, but also have a high growth rate.

The pipe bindweed is a particularly fast-growing plant that grows up to 10 meters high and shoots up an astonishing 1 meter per year. But it grows just as luxuriantly in width.

Green the fence with trumpet flowers
The American trumpet flower impresses with its yellow-red flowers and green foliage. The climbing plant blooms tirelessly from August to October and is a valuable source of food for insects and birds. The climbing plant needs climbing support, otherwise its shoots can break under the weight of the flowers. The garden fence also offers it wind protection so that it can grow quickly.
Frequently blooming rambler roses for rose arches
Rambler roses bloom in early summer. A second flowering in late summer/early autumn is possible with more frequently flowering varieties. In autumn the plants still have something to offer - they bear rose hips.
Particularly beautiful varieties, in our opinion, are:
- “Awakening”, a pink flowering climbing plant that is also great as a cut flower. It prefers sunny locations, but can also tolerate partial shade.
- “Super Dorothy” impresses with its delicate, semi-double pink flowers and its light scent. This variety has a high resistance to powdery mildew and, if well cared for, will bloom until autumn.
- “Lemon Rambler” is a rambler rose with double, creamy flowers. This variety is particularly popular for its gentle aroma.
All three are hybrid varieties.
The evergreen honeysuckle (honeysuckle) for fences and walls
The evergreen honeysuckle is the perfect plant for planting on fences and walls. It grows quickly, is undemanding and reaches a maximum height of 6 meters. With the right climbing aid you can use it practically anywhere. The climbing plant has a high ornamental value, but is not suitable as a privacy or wind protection. It prefers a location in partial shade or shade and a nutrient-rich, well-drained soil.
