If you are an avid gardener, you obviously start planning your garden as soon as spring sets in so that you can get the best trees, shrubs and climbers ready as quickly as possible.
The latter is often a favorite with gardeners, especially if he or she owns a small one.
This is because they grow upwards not occupying much space as compared to the ones that spread bushes, not allowing you to pack in more.
However, these climbers require plant supports without which they are unable to grow in a desired manner.
These provide several seasons of interest, with spring and summer blooms, autumn berries and plants, while some tend to retain a better shape with the chilly winter.
For instance, pyracanthus, a wall shrub blooms in summer while bright orange and red berries grow during autumn and winter.
Similarly, Boston Ivy can be used for covering ugly fences and walls all around the year.
However, if you are concerned with your brick works, it is better if you do not plant it beside your home.
Hydrangea petiolaris is a beautiful climber that produces lacy heads of flowers, and is capable of clinging to surfaces with less plant supports.
And last but not the least, every garden is incomplete without Clemantis montana, a colorful climber.
It scrambles over disheveled sheds and wooden fences in spring and retains its brightness for the rest of the months.
Here's a list of exotic climbers according to seasons that you can choose for adorning your garden.
