Star jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) is renowned for its highly scented white flowers. Its vigorous growth makes it an excellent choice for covering fences, creating a beautiful and aromatic garden feature. These plants are particularly striking when combined with modern elements such as black horizontal slats on white concrete walls, offering a contemporary twist on classic garden design.
When selecting plants for such areas, it’s important to consider the unique conditions they will face. Compact or smaller growing varieties are ideal for these spaces. Additionally, cloth planters with multiple pockets are a great solution for almost any type of fence. Lightweight and easy to hang, they can transform terraces, backyards, or courtyards with colorful interest.
Bamboo, one of the fastest-growing plants, can quickly create a lush, exotic privacy screen. These sheltered spots also offer the opportunity to grow more tender plants. Beyond simple fences, hedges can provide security, privacy, and a haven for wildlife, adding beauty and interest to your garden for many years. Whether aiming for a formal look or a more relaxed atmosphere with bright plants, using your fence as a base for vertical planting can significantly enhance your garden’s aesthetic.
At Garden4Less, we offer a wide range of garden pots and planters to suit every gardening need. From durable, vibrant ceramic planters to sophisticated, timeless brass options, there’s something for every style. When planting near walls or fences, remember to dig a hole at least 30cm, preferably 45cm away from the base, to avoid dry spots. For beginners, constructing a twig tower in a large flowerpot filled with potting soil is an excellent project. It’s crucial to allow ample space between plantings, as plants will spread outwards as well as upwards.
