Climbers and creepers are invaluable additions to any garden, offering a fantastic way to add vertical interest, cover unsightly walls or fences, create privacy screens, and bring a touch of nature to even the smallest of spaces. They utilize various methods to ascend, transforming ordinary areas into vibrant, living canvases. But what's the difference between a climber and a creeper, and how do you choose the right one for your garden? Understanding the Difference: Climbers vs. Creepers Climbers: These plants actively seek out support and climb by twining their stems, using tendrils, or clinging with aerial roots. They generally need some form of structure to grow on, such as a trellis, pergola, or fence. Examples include clematis, honeysuckle, and climbing roses. Creepers: These plants spread horizontally and then climb by clinging to surfaces with adhesive pads or rootlets. They can cover walls, fences, and even the ground. Examples include ivy, Virginia creeper, and some types of jasmine.
