Maximize your outdoor space and help wildlife<\/h2>\n
Goodbye nosy neighbours! Adding climbing plants to your property can help to give you a little more privacy and make practical use of the vertical spaces in your backyard. But if you want visitors like birds, bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects to visit your climbing plants, you\u2019ll want to primarily plant native climbers. Here are five that you can train to drape over doorways and trellises, climb walls and hang from pots!<\/p>\n
1. American Bittersweet<\/h3>\nCelastrus scandens Native Range: MB, NB, ON, QC, SK, Light: Partial shade, sun Moisture: Dry, moist Height at maturity: 6 m<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
American Bittersweet is a vine that will twist its stems around surfaces like trellises. In the spring, they\u2019ll burst into green flowers and when summer comes around it will offer beautiful orangey red berries. These berries attract all sorts of birds and is a great food source for them when winter arrives.<\/p>\n
2. Virgin\u2019s Bower<\/h3>\nClematis Virginiana Native Range: MB, NB, NS, PE, ON, QC Light: Partial shade, sun Moisture: Moist Height at maturity: 3.6 – 6 m<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Virgin\u2019s Bower is from the clematis family and like others from the genus grows leaves that curl around surfaces like trellises to climb. In the summer, you\u2019ll find white flowers blooming from the vine, and in the late summer and fall black fruit will emerge. Its flowers and fruit attract pollinators and birds alike!<\/p>\n
3. Virginia Creeper<\/h3>\nParthenocissus quinquefolia Native Range: MB, NB, NS, ON, PE, QC, SK Light: Full shade, partial shade, sun Moisture: Dry, moist Height at maturity: 9 – 15 m<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The stems and leaves of the Virginia Creeper curl around supports to climb. In the summer, it will produce green flowers and black berries which attract birds for its sustenance. In the fall, it offers beautiful fire-red leaves!<\/p>\n
4. Trumpet Vine<\/h3>\nCampsis radicans Native Range: ON Light: Sun Moisture: Dry, moist Height at maturity: 10 m<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The Trumpet Vine is native to the Ontario region and produces trumpet-shaped blooms in summer that are red and orange in colour. These blooms attract hummingbirds and other pollinators. In the late summer and fall, it will offer brown fruit that attracts all sorts of backyard birds.<\/p>\n
5. Sweet Pea<\/h3>\nLathyrus odoratus Native Range: Non-native Light: Partial shade, sun Moisture: Moist Height at maturity: 1.5 – 1.8 m<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
