Climbing plants are a largely untapped resource for today's
gardeners. Because their habit of growth is primarily
vertical, they can be used to provide privacy, screen
eyesores, and draw the eye upward to create the illusion of
space. In Armitage’s Vines and Climbers, renowned horticulturist
Allan Armitage selects and profiles the most useful and
attractive climbing plants for a wide variety of sites and
conditions. The choices include both woody and herbaceous
plants, both annuals and perennials. Profiles for more than
115 plants include a general description, hardiness, plant
family, best method of propagation, method of climbing, and
the etymology of botanical and common names. Climbing plants
add an extra dimension to gardening - literally. By following Armitage's sage advice, gardeners and designers
will be well equipped to create dazzling gardens that
transcend the boundaries of horizontality.
