Which vines are suitable for planting in the garden?
A comprehensive explanation of which vines are suitable for planting in the garden and an introduction to three kinds of vines that are suitable for ground planting, followed by the introduction of green plants and flowers by the editor.
When growing flowers in the courtyard, one must think long-term and choose ground-planted flowers. The advantage of ground-planted plants is that they grow fast and produce many flowers. Planting the plants directly in the soil gives the roots unlimited space to grow and absorb a large amount of water and nutrients to supply the growth of the plant's branches.
If you have a small garden at home, it is recommended that you choose vines, which require more effort in the early stages, such as more fertilizing and pruning. For vines, a good trellis also needs to be set up, as any type of vine plant needs a trellis to climb and grow.
There are many types of vines. Do not choose fancy varieties but instead choose the most common and ordinary ones, which are usually easier and more relaxing to care for. For example, osmanthus, campsis, and roses. These three plants can easily survive in both the south and the north and do not easily attract pests or have problems.
1. Osmanthus
Many people say that osmanthus flowers are roses, but in fact, they are completely different varieties. Roses and osmanthus are entirely different types of flowers. First of all, osmanthus flowers do not have thorns; their branches are relatively thin and grow faster than roses, making them very suitable for planting in the north. Osmanthus flowers mainly have three colors: red, white, and yellow. When planting in the courtyard, it is recommended to choose yellow for a more beautiful appearance.

Osmanthus can be planted directly in the ground without a complicated planting method. In the spring, buy the seedlings, dig a hole in the ground, and bury the seedlings in the soil, then water them. Osmanthus flowers can survive and, when their branches grow to 1 meter long, set up a牵引 (牵引 means "traction" or "guiding" in English, but since "trellis" is already used, it might be better to keep the term consistent) framework. It will take about three to four years to grow fully.
2. Campsis
Campsis flowers are often seen in the northern regions, and many residential areas and parks plant them. One advantage of campsis flowers in the north is that they are not afraid of the cold. Without the low temperatures of winter, they can safely overwinter outdoors. The growth rate of campsis flowers is among the fastest among vines, and in just a short three years, they can cover an entire wall and produce many flowers.
Campsis flowers only come in one color, orange-yellow. Another benefit of planting campsis flowers in the courtyard is that it basically does not require much time for guiding. Campsis branches will grow a large number of aerial roots that will attach to the wall and climb by themselves.
