To hide a wall to the westīignone (Campsis) and ornamental kiwi (Actinidia kolomikta) are the two best choices: the first is decorative with its beautiful orange or red colored trumpet flowers the second with its leaves variegated with cream and rose. In regions with a mild climate in winter, where it does not freeze, flowering climbing plants such as bougainvillea, passionflower, shriveled solanum, Plumbago, and star jasmine complete this list.
#Plants to cover wall full
To hide an ugly wall facing southĬlimbing plants or bulky shrubs that like full sun are recommended: ceanoths, small-flowered clematis, officinal jasmine, etc. The Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus henryana) takes on beautiful autumnal red colors, including the variety with decorative variegated foliage. Golden hops (Humulus, hupulus aureus): Its yellow leaves light up the garden and give the impression of enlarging it. They like a wall facing east because they hate being placed against a wall that’s too hot. Honeysuckles (Lonicera): They bloom for a long time from spring to fall, almost continuously. Winter jasmine (Jasminum nudiflorum) is popular for its bright yellow flowers that open in the middle of winter, in January.
Its green leaves also change color in autumn to turn yellow, then purplish. May be kept as low as three feet or allowed to grow to twenty feet plus.Ivy (Hedera helix) is interesting because its year round dark green foliage is covered with paler young shoots in spring and late summer.Ĭlimbing Hydrangea (Hydrangea petiolaris) produces beautiful flowers in summer. Usually used as a hedge, either clipped or unclipped. Privet(Ligustrum japonicum) – Evergreen shrub or small tree.Also use as a hedge or screen, potted plant, bonsai. Red berries often form after white, creamy flowers bloom. Heavenly Bamboo(Nandina domestica and Nandina domestica ‘compacta’) – Two of the most versatile evergreen and easy-to-grow plants we have.Usually used as an informal hedge/screen. For beauty, rate of growth, denseness, and toughness, ‘Standard’ oleanders are hard to beat. ‘Standard’ red, white and pink oleanders grow 10-15 feet tall in time. ‘LIttle Red’ is the hardiest of the petite oleanders but does not bloom as much. They are favored for their many months of flowering and smaller size. Oleander(Nerium oleander) – ‘Petite Pink’ and ‘Petite Salmon’ are slightly frost tender but seldom killed.Best planting time is late spring but can be planted twelve months out of the year. Most popular as ground covers are the ‘Trailing Purple’, ‘White Lightnin’, and ‘New Gold’. Usually comes back with vigor in the spring. Lantana(Lantana sellowiana and camara) – Evergreen shrubs/ground covers that may freeze to the ground in the winter.Use as a ground cover(Huntington Carpet) or upright shrub(Tucsan Blue). Tolerates a wide range of growing conditions. Rosemary(Rosmarinus officinalis) – Evergreen shrub/herb grows in full sun and requires little or no water once established.Requires little to no water once established. Desert Spoon(Dasylirion wheeleri) – Evergreen shrub used primarily as an accent plant.Although natural growth is as a clump, may also be grown as a single trunk palm by keeping the “pups” trimmed off. Use in containers, mass under trees, grow as impenetrable hedge, or use singly as accent. Works well around pools because of minimum litter. Mediterranean Fan Palm(Chamaerops humilis) – Excellent slow-growing clumping palm for a tropical garden.Some people cut it to the ground yearly because they like the tracery effect of the new growth. Large trumpet shaped yellow flowers in the spring. Cat’s Claw/Yellow Trumpet Vine(Macfadyena unguis-cati) – Partly deciduous, self-clinging, vigorous, fast-growing vine for any sunny location, including south and west facing walls.Maintain as a formal or informal shrub or hedge. Beautiful flowers come with the monsoons.
Evergreen vine or sprawling shrub/ground cover. Star Jasmine(Trachelospermum jasminoides) – Tough and versatile.
