5 unusual annual climbing plants to plant now

If your garden is crying out for a little colour and extra privacy, annual climbers are one of the quickest and easiest ways to transform it before summer hits.

In fact, now is the perfect time of year to plant your climbers and use them to hide a fence, wall, or to create privacy. In spring, we have warmer weather and extra light, so they tend to grow quickly.

If you pick the right varieties, you’ll have not only a splash of colour but also lush foliage. These plants will last for the summer, then fade away as the frosts return, but will ensure great coverage for those summer months when they are needed the most.
