CLIMB TO SUBLIME
Create summer shade under your pergola with climbers.
• Grow fragrant wisteria, star jasmine, ornamental grapevine, bougainvillea, golden trumpet vine, honeysuckle, climbing roses or orange trumpet creeper.
• Ask your nursery which plants will suit your region and your pergola’s aspect so they flourish.
• Train plants to wind around the posts as they climb, whether planted in the ground or pots.
