Why Buy Climbing Plants from Woolpit Nurseries?

At Woolpit Nurseries, we can help you choose the right climber for your aspect, soil and support. Some climbers love full sun, while others cope well with light shade or sheltered walls.

How to Plant and Care for Climbing Plants
- Position: Most climbers like sun or light shade. Avoid very dry rain-shadow spots under eaves.
- Soil preparation: Improve soil with compost before planting, especially on heavy clay.
- Support: Fit trellis, wires or arches before planting and tie in new shoots as they grow.
- Clematis planting: Plant slightly deeper than the pot level to help reduce wilt risk.
- Watering: Water deeply through the first growing season and during dry spells.
- Pruning: Prune according to plant type. Clematis pruning groups vary, and wisteria benefits from summer pruning.
