Tips for choosing plants

Whatever you intend to green with climbing plants -- whether a freestanding trellis wall, house wall,  balcony, or a terrace roof-- selecting the most appropriate plant species (and sometimes even the right variety within the species) along with the right trellis is crucial. Location, light and wind conditions, as well as maintenance requirements all factor in when choosing a climbing plant for your green wall. In addition to the individual plant profiles, you will find tips in this section on various topics related with climbing-plant greening. If you'd like to read about specific greening examples, such as the greening of a wall, garage, carport or pergola, look under our first main section "Ideas."
