Climbers can really enhance a garden, adding height and depth to borders, providing homes for wildlife and helping to block the view of unsightly buildings. Some can be grown in pots; there’s a huge variety to grow, from roses to clematis, passion flower and hydrangea. Love wildlife? Try ivy trimmed close to the wall or let it flower and fruit for insects and birds. Whatever your needs, browse our list of climbers for sun or shade, for wildlife or for improving the view. We’ll also show you how to care for your climbers, to help you keep them looking their best.
