Having a smaller outdoor space shouldn’t stop you from filling it with your favourite flowers and colours. And when you can’t build outwards… build up! That’s why climbing plants are perfect for smaller spaces, they help you utilise as much available space as possible.
Here are our top recommendations for climbing plants for a smaller garden, ideal for any trellis or wall, pergola or archway.
Clematis
We truly believe that there’s a clematis for every garden. Clematis josephine is a compact variety, that can thrive in just a container with an attached trellis. Perfect for a sunny spot in the garden that won’t take up too much room.
Sweet peas
Sweet peas will always be our top recommendation for gardens of any size, but especially for a smaller space. Plus, they look amazing, and smell good too! Any variety will do, so pick some from our range that tickle your fancy. But may we suggest Sweet Pea Summer Sizzler?
Nasturtium
Not all nasturtiums are climbers, just Tropaeolus majus. They’re gorgeous and vibrant and do well in a pot. Which is ideal for small gardens especially! We highly recommend growing them on an obelisk if you’re truly strapped for space, as they’ll happily sit on a patio or balcony. Varieties like Nasturtium Gleam Hybrids mix will look particularly beautiful in your garden.
Thunbergia
Thunbergia, specifically Black-Eyed Susan Vine, is another gorgeous climber that produces a mass of sunset orange flowers with black centres.Their ability to be trained up fences or trellises makes them perfect for a compact garden display. Our Climbing Thunbergia Collection is the perfect option for those after an abundant display in their compact space.
Ipomoea
Ipomoea are hardy annual climbers, which are easy to grow

Honeybees and butterflies may be the poster children for pollinator awareness, but these charismatic garden visitors actually make up a very small portion of the species that move pollen from plant to plant. Commonly overlooked creatures like wasps, flies, moths, beetles, birds, bats, and even lizards can all serve as plant pollinators. Another misconception is that most pollinator activity occurs from the height of summer and into early fall, but in fact pollination occurs during most months of the year when temperatures are within an acceptable range for insect activity and there is a pollen or nectar source available. In this article I will talk about an array of plants that feed and support pollinators at specific points throughout the growing season. As you plan your wildlife-friendly plantings, use these suggestions as a springboard for creating your own unique, multiseason plant combinations.
For most of the Southwest, “dry” is a normal state of affairs. We live in a complex mosaic of arid, semi-arid, and seasonally arid zones that make most generalizations impossible. And an especially wet or dry season can throw all calculations off, making our usual watering routines irrelevant. We must be willing to adjust to ensure plant health in our gardens.
