A garden trellis creates a beautiful accent with a shower of blossoms

An arbor or garden trellis makes the most of limited space with a vertical display of lush greenery, colorful blooms or even tasty fruit, such as grapes.

A wrought iron or copper trellis against a bare wall or as a privacy or shade screen on your patio or balcony provides addition growing space and vertical interest.

Climbing roses, clematis and grapes are traditional trellis plants and there is a large selection of plants that are ideal for growing on arbors and trellises. Experiment with combinations of plants that flower at different times for a spectacular display throughout the seasons.

Benefits of a garden trellis:

create a privacy screen in a garden or on a patio or balcony
provide shelter from wind with flowering vines on a copper trellis
provide shade for other plants or sitting area
provide support for large vines and trailing plants
screen an unattactive area of your landscape with a decorative trellis
contain a plant with wild growing habit

Popular choices:

pressure-treated pine
cedar

galvanized or wrought iron
copper
fiberglass or vinyl

Perfect plants for your trellis:

wisteria

sweet pea
English ivy
grapes

Russian vine

Create a stunning display on your garden trellis with a combination of vines that complement each other, such as grapes intermingled with sun-loving clematis—an excellent technique for perennial vines.

Be sure to carefully consider the growing habit of the vine you choose for your trellis. Some climbers have tendrils which need small objects to wrap around, some vines twine their entire stem around a sturdy support. Other vines have aerial rootlets along their stems that cling to wood, brick stone and other materials. Be sure to provide the appropriate support for your vines.
