Training pothos or English ivy into a waterfall curtain in summer is nothing special. Skilled growers can train blue plumbago or clematis as curtains, with blooms hanging one by one in front of the window. Absolutely beautiful!

Clematis

Clematis blooms in summer, with flowers large and vivid, comparable to peonies, which is why it is also called "iron peony." With proper care, it can keep climbing for more than 10 years in a row.

Mandevilla

During the blooming period, mandevilla carries a light fragrance on the breeze, and its red trumpet-shaped flowers twine among the leaves and stems, soft yet full of resilience.

Cypress vine

Cypress vine has five-pointed-star-shaped petals, with emerald-green leaves and brilliant red flowers. The extreme contrast of colors is very eye-catching and striking.

Hoya

Hoya is also called porcelain flower. Its petals are mostly white with a tiny red center, and the ball-like clusters of flowers dot the vines, as pure and lovely as a young girl's face.

Chinese trumpet creeper

Chinese trumpet creeper is mostly bright red and orange-yellow. It loves light and warmth, and summer is its most splendid season. On windowsills, fences, long corridors and stone walls, Chinese trumpet creeper can be seen everywhere.

Blue plumbago

Blue plumbago has ice-blue flowers, with small blooms gathered into hydrangea-like clusters, dotted among the emerald branches and leaves and hanging over the summer windowsill. Just looking at it brings a touch of coolness.

Star jasmine

Star jasmine's flowers resemble pinwheels, or fans. It has a strong ability to climb walls, a long blooming period, fragrant flowers, and is not prone to pests. With minimal care, it can cover a whole windowsill!

Firecracker vine

Firecracker vine has a very long blooming period. Its slender flower tubes gather into clusters and hang on the wall like strings of firecrackers, making it especially suitable for balconies and walls.

Morning glory

Morning glory is an annual herbaceous flower, and summer is its peak blooming period. It comes in many varieties and colors, and with any simple guiding onto a support, it can bloom in a large patch.

Seeing so many beautiful flowers that can be grown into curtain waterfalls, are you fellow gardeners tempted too? Next, Huahua will teach everyone how to correctly train flowers to climb!

Training climbers

Thick-vine types

For thick-vine flowers like wisteria and bougainvillea, the training method is relatively simple. Fix a few hook screws at the four corners of the wall, then use steel wire to form a grid, and they can be trained.

When training, guide them horizontally and expose all the axillary buds to ensure sufficient light, so the flowers will bloom in a more staggered and well-arranged way.

Lightweight vine types

For lightweight vines like clematis, you can drive a few steel nails around the flowerpot, then use hemp rope or iron wire to make a grid-like wooden frame, leaving a growing gap between the frame and the wall. Then guide the flowering branches horizontally.

Have you also grown flowers that climbed into a curtain?
