Arbors add certain panache to outdoor walkways. The intricate designs allow for plants and flowers to creep gracefully down the tops and sides, creating an attractive entryway. However, you may not know which plants are best for decorating arbors. So, for use with our arbors, our Highwood USA team offers these ideas: 1. Wisteria Vine – These vines climb by twining their stems either clockwise or counter-clockwise round any available support. Wisteria vines are hardy and fast-growing, as well as ideal for providing shade coverage. Also, wisteria produces either purple, violet, pink, or white flowers during the summer months. 2. Clematis – This plant is considered a climbing vine. They can grow to heights of 20ft or more, if given proper support and ideal growing conditions. Most clematis vines require full sun, but some can also perform well in partial and even full shade.3. Trumpet Vine – This particular vine produces reddish-orange or salmon flowers throughout the summer months. Trumpet vines are low-maintenance, and vigorous, making it ideal for arbors. Also, they attract hummingbirds, giving them an added appeal. 4. Roses – Roses are ideal for those looking for colorful, fragrant displays. They form a group of erect shrubs, and climbing or trailing plants, with stems that are often armed with sharp thorns. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 22ft in height.If you’re looking for arbors to enhance your outdoor walkway, consider Highwood USA’s “The Hometown” arbor.
