Evergreen vines are incredibly versatile and can be used in many different ways to enhance your garden or landscaping. From covering an unsightly chain link fence to providing colorful ground cover, there's a lot you can do with vines. The fact that they're evergreen means you can expect color year-round and, in many cases, blooming flowers from late winter through spring.
Landscaping with Evergreen Vines
Vines are a go-to plant for many gardeners and landscapers because they have so many different uses. They require less space to grow than other types of plants used for borders and privacy screens. People with small backyards or gardens can take advantage of vines to add a lot of greenery and color in limited space. They can be used to create shade if you don't want to grow a tree in your yard. Vines are also fast-growing, so they can be used to cover something with greenery and even flowers in a short amount of time.
Decorative Trellises and Arbors
Planting vines to cover a trellis or arbor is a favorite way to use them in a backyard. The vines provide a beautiful privacy screen and shade for the summer months. Just be sure to grow them on a sturdy structure. Vines have an aggressive growth pattern and could collapse a structure under their weight in time. Wisteria Sinensis, Vinca Minor, and Periwinkle are great choices for decorating a trellis or arbor.
Ivy for Privacy Screens
English Ivy is a favorite for planting next to a fence or climbing wall. It grows fast to provide a privacy screen. Even when the plant sheds leaves, it has new growth so quickly that it's barely noticeable. The densely green color of ivy allows it to fit in well with any landscaping scheme.
Ground Cover
Certain creeping vines can be used for colorful ground cover on hillsides or bare spaces in your landscaping. A ground cover grab bag from TN Nursery allows you to experiment with a batch of different vines to see which ones are your favorite. We select the group of vine samplers we'll send to you based on your zip code, to ensure they're good choices for your climate zone.
Ajuga Reptans is just one of our hardy choices for an evergreen vine that works as ground cover. Its blooming flowers provide color in the spring and summer months. The flowers attract butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. Ajuga Reptans can form a carpet on the landscape in areas where grasses don't want to grow. It also acts as a weed control plant and prevents soil erosion.
