If you want to decorate your pergolas, there are many different types of plants that give a rustic old look with foliage and flowers. Here's a list that will inspire you to create a plant haven in your outdoor corner by transforming straightforward crossbeam structures into attractive canopies with colorful and abundant climbers. One of our many chic garden pergola ideas is to grow stunning plants as a pergola. To help you choose the best plants to grow or pick in your yard, we've broken down the best pergola plant ideas, including climbing foliage and flowers.


1. Honeysuckle



Everyone is always fascinated by the colorful and fragrant honeysuckle which is a great addition to any landscape. Honeysuckle grows in moist but well-drained soil in partial shade but faces the stems in full sun at the base of a west-facing wall, fence, or pergola.


2. Passion Flowers


As one of the most popular vines, they are a joy to grow along a trellis, fence, or pergola. Plant them in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil. Be sure to trim branches to keep plants clean and minimize damage.


3. Potato Vine



Sweet potatoes are a delightful late bloomer that is well worth your wait and effort. It's a fast grower of green, and it climbs greedily and wraps around anything it can get hold of, so remember to put a trellis for them or place them next to a fence or pergola. Sweet potato vines will grow practically anywhere near the full sun, perhaps from full sun to full shade.


4. Grapevines


Growing grapes on a pergola is a great idea for home fruit production and adding a wonderful look to the garden with small round grapes. Whatever you love, wine or jam, or a love of vines, a desire to grow grapes vertically.


5. Clematis



Clematis are long-lived perennial vines and play an important role in any flower garden. As they chase up trellises, climb arbors and thread themselves through other plants, clematis weaves a rich tapestry of color and texture.


6. Climbing Rose


Training roses to climb themselves will give them steady growth and even create your own unique natural canopy on your pergola! However, once you decide to grow and train your roses, you need to tie them tightly to support their structure.


7. Wisteria



Well-known for climbing large supports such as pergolas, wisterias are hardy, vigorous climbers, reaching over 10m (33ft) in height and width. You need to provide a solid and reliable structure in the form of bars or trellis against a wall, or a garden structure such as a pergola or arch. Wisteria can be trained to grow as a tree or as a raised support.


8. Trumpet Vine


Plant them in sturdy and unbreakable structures such as fences or pergolas. Remember not to grow them close to the house as their aerial roots can damage the structure, and don't let them get too close to the tree as they can suffocate.


9. Crimson Glory Vine



This vine will grab your attention with its highly decorative green and colorful red pattern. Its eager striving habit is perfect for our busy daily life, making it a great factor in enhancing your home landscape. Whether you want to hide an old fence or hide a private corner under a pergola, the presence of these vines will bring the desired result.


10. Rangoon Creeper


These mesmerizing flowers will catch your eye, and come in abundance as they are shrubby vines that take up all the spotlights in your garden. It is a popular climber in tropical gardens, hardy, fast-growing, and requires strong support as plants are long-lived. It grows healthily if planted in a pot and with regular pruning.


11. Golden Hops



Golden Hops, an ornamental vine climbing fences or trellises as a solitary and background foliage, is prized for its yellow-green leaves. Hops are a valuable plant for home brewers because of their use in beer. Hops plants are perennials, so although they lose their leaves in winter and old vines must be cut back, they thrive year after year.
