One of the fastest growing wall climbing plants is the Clematis armandii. This beautiful vine is perfect for covering walls, fences, or trellises in a short amount of time. I personally have experience with this plant and have been amazed at how quickly it can grow and cover a large area.
The Clematis armandii is an evergreen vine that produces an abundance of fragrant, white flowers in the spring. The flowers are bell-shaped and can completely cover the plant, creating a stunning display. The leaves are leathery and dark green, providing a lush backdrop for the flowers.
One of the reasons why the Clematis armandii is such a fast grower is because it is a vigorous climber. It has strong, twining stems that can quickly reach heights of up to 20 feet or more. It is important to provide a sturdy support structure for this vine, as it can become quite heavy once it reaches its full size.
In terms of care, the Clematis armandii prefers a sunny or partially shaded location and well-drained soil. It is a relatively low-maintenance plant and does not require much pruning, although it can benefit from some light pruning after flowering to keep it tidy and encourage new growth.
Another fast-growing wall climbing plant is the Campsis radicans, also known as Trumpet Vine. This deciduous vine is native to North America and is known for its rapid growth and showy orange or red trumpet-shaped flowers.
The Campsis radicans is a vigorous climber that can quickly cover walls, fences, or trellises. It has twining stems that can reach lengths of 30 feet or more, making it an excellent choice for creating a dramatic vertical display.
In terms of care, the Campsis radicans is a hardy plant that can tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil, but can also tolerate some shade and less-than-ideal soil conditions. It is relatively low-maintenance and does not require much pruning, although it can benefit from some light pruning in late winter or early spring to remove any dead or damaged wood.
Both the Clematis armandii and Campsis radicans are excellent choices for fast-growing wall climbing plants. Whether you prefer the fragrant white flowers of the Clematis armandii or the vibrant orange or red flowers of the Campsis radicans, both of these vines will quickly cover your walls or fences and provide a stunning display in your garden.
