Straight from the grower
Straight from the grower
We have been growing our plants with great passion since 1976. We are therefore proud that the third generation is now at the helm of our family business. All plants and trees we supply come either directly from our own nursery or from fellow nurseries that work in partnership with Heijnen. Through our close cooperation with various skilled growers, plant importers and other professionals, we guarantee products that are as fresh and high quality as possible. What this means for you is healthy and beautiful plants and trees straight from the nursery at competitive prices.

Height at time of delivery (cm)
Height at time of delivery (cm)

'Height without root ball' refers to the measurement of a plant or tree where the height is measured without taking into account the underlying root ball of roots and soil normally present when the plant is moved. When measuring height without root ball, only the visible part of the plant above ground, such as the trunk/stem, branches and leaves, is taken into account, while the root ball that is normally below ground is excluded from the measurement.

Mature height (cm)
Mature height (cm)

The mature height of a plant is the height the plant reaches when it is mature. It is also called the maximum height. This height is given in centimetres and refers to the height of the visible part of the plant above the ground. In other words, the trunk/stem, branches and leaves. The root ball that is (normally) below the ground is excluded from this measurement. Location and soil type also affect mature plant height.

Positioning
Positioning

By positioning, we mean the number of hours of sunlight at the spot where the plants are to be placed. There are three categories for this, namely:

  • Sun - more than 4 hours of sun per day
  • Partial shade - up to 4 hours of sun per day
  • Shade - less than 2 hours of sun per day

The type of soil is of minor importance in most cases, unless otherwise stated for the product.

Growth habit
Growth habit

Growth habit is the way in which the plant grows and what general shape the plant has. Roughly speaking, we can divide our plants into the following categories:

  • Bushy spreading growth habit - in this growth habit, the plant grows bushy in both height and width.
  • Climbing growth habit - as the name suggests, a climbing plant. Suitable for positioning against a wall, fence or pergola.
  • Creeping wide-spreading growth habit - relatively low-growing and ground-covering plants that spread considerably, especially in width.
  • Upright growth habit - these plants grow mostly straight up and with virtually no overhang.
  • Upright to bushy growth habit - these plants tend to grow straight up and, especially as they grow taller, may overhang slightly.
  • Clump-forming and upright growth habit - these plants form a single clump from which stems, leaves and flowers grow. The taller the plant, the more the leaves and stems may overhang.
  • Clump-forming growth habit - these plants form a single clump and remain somewhat more compact in shape
  • Sod-forming growth habit - these plants form a dense carpet. Stems and leaves grow very closely together. You could compare this to the growth habit of a lawn.

By 'application' we mean how the planting can be used in the garden. In this, we distinguish between the possible applications below:

Border: also called a bed, this is a strip of ground (part of the garden) intended for planting. Due to the construction of paths, terraces and lawn, a garden often consists of multiple borders:

  • Group planting: plants that are at their best when placed together in small or large groups and can be easily combined with other garden plants if desired.
  • Edge planting: mostly low-growing plants that are suitable for use at the edge of borders and so provide a nice progression from low to tall plants.
  • Underplanting: mostly shade-loving plants that can be planted under large shrubs and trees.

Solitary: a plant (usually a larger shrub) that does best when planted alone and not with several of the same variety together. A solitary plant is a real eye-catcher and also provides 'body' to the garden. You place a solitary plant in a border in combination with (relatively) low-growing plants, for example.

Pot: a plant that grows well in a pot.

Planter: plants that are perfect for use in planters.

Hedge: plants that grow particularly tall and branch nicely through pruning. This makes them ideal for use as a natural screen (hedge). We offer hedge plants for both low and tall hedges.

Pergola: plants that are ideal for planting and growing against a pergola.

Fence: plants that can be grown against a fence or placed in front of a fence.

Wall: plants that can be grown against a wall or placed in front of a wall.

Trellis: plants that can be grown in a trellis to create more greenery and privacy in the garden.

Slope: plants that are ideal for planting on a slope.

Climbing Plants with Flowers

Flowering climbers are plants that grow upwards, often using structures like walls or trellises for support. These plants are known for their beautiful blooms, adding colour and life to any garden. Popular types include Clematis, Wisteria, and Rosa, which are loved for their vibrant flowers and ability to cover large areas. Flowering climbers are also called ornamental climbing plants or blush climbing flowers. These names highlight their decorative nature and the soft colours they often display. In the garden, flowering climbers are used to create stunning vertical displays. They are perfect for flowering gardens, cutting gardens, and even bee and butterfly gardens. These plants can transform a simple fence or pergola into a lively and colourful feature. They are ideal for creating privacy or adding structure to a garden. Some of the best flowering climbers for walls and trellises include long-blooming climbing plants that provide continuous beauty throughout the season. Whether you want fragrant flowering climbers or colourful trailing plants, these vertical bloomers are a great choice for any garden.

Features of colourful and ornamental climbing plants

Flowering climbing plants, also known as blooming climbers or colourful climbing plants, are a wonderful addition to any garden. These plants grow by attaching themselves to structures like walls, trellises, or fences. They spread outwards, creating a lush and vibrant display. The growth of flowering climbers can vary, with some reaching impressive heights and widths, making them ideal for covering large areas. The development of flowering climbers begins in early spring when new shoots emerge. As the season progresses, these plants grow rapidly, reaching their full size by summer. The blooming period for these climbers can vary depending on the species and environmental factors. Typically, they bloom from late spring to early autumn. Factors such as climate, temperature, and soil quality play a significant role in their flowering time. The colours of flowering climbers are diverse, ranging from soft pastels to vibrant hues. The specific colour depends on the type and cultivar, as well as the soil and light conditions. Some flowering climbers are known for their delightful fragrance, which can enhance the sensory experience of a garden. The scent is often strongest in the flowers, but some varieties also have aromatic leaves. Mature flowering climbers can reach impressive heights, often growing several metres tall. This makes them perfect for creating privacy or adding vertical interest to a garden. Proper care and placement are essential to ensure they thrive and contribute to a lively and colourful garden environment.

Flowering climbers are a wonderful addition to any garden, offering a burst of colour and life. The leaves of these ornamental climbing plants vary greatly. Some have heart-shaped leaves, while others display elongated forms. Leaf colour can range from deep green to variegated patterns, adding visual interest. The texture of the leaves can be smooth or slightly hairy, which can affect how they retain moisture. In winter, many flowering climbing plants lose their leaves, but some, like evergreen varieties, remain lush year-round, depending on the species and climate.

Winter hardiness is crucial for flowering climbers. These plants can be sensitive to frost, with factors like temperature, frost duration, and wind exposure playing significant roles. A sheltered spot with well-drained soil can enhance their resilience. Some species are more frost-tolerant, making them suitable for colder climates.

While some flowering climbers are evergreen, others shed their leaves annually. This depends on the species and the local climate. Evergreen types provide year-round interest, while deciduous ones offer seasonal changes.

Heat and drought tolerance are important for flowering climbers. Originating from various climates, these plants may have adaptations like waxy leaves or deep root systems to conserve water. Adequate soil moisture and protection from harsh winds can improve their performance during hot, dry periods.

Most flowering climbers are non-toxic and safe for gardens with children and pets. However, it's always wise to research specific species to ensure safety. Proper garden use ensures these plants remain harmless.

Flowering climbers contribute to biodiversity by attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Their long blooming periods and ability to mimic natural habitats support ecological gardens. These plants provide food and shelter, enhancing garden ecosystems and promoting resilience against pests.

Where to use flowering climbers for maximum impact

Flowering climbers are a fantastic way to add colour and life to any garden. These blooming climbers can be used in various ways to enhance the beauty of outdoor spaces. Here are some ideas on how to use flowering climbers effectively:

  • Border: Use flowering climbers along garden borders to create a vibrant edge.
  • Group planting: Plant in groups for a lush, colourful display.
  • Solitary: Let a single flowering climber stand out as a focal point.
  • Hedge or boundary: Create a natural boundary with flowering climbers.
  • Fence or wall: Cover fences or walls with blooming vines for a stunning backdrop.
  • Pergola: Train flowering climbers over a pergola for shade and beauty.
  • Pot or planter: Grow in pots for flexibility and easy movement.
  • Privacy screen: Use flowering climbers to create a private, colourful retreat.
  • Insect corner: Attract bees and butterflies with fragrant flowering climbers.
These colourful climbing plants not only beautify but also support ecological gardens by attracting pollinators. Consider adding flowering climbers to your garden for a lively and vibrant atmosphere. Whether you want to buy flowering climbers for a pergola or a privacy screen, they are sure to make a lasting impression.

Companion planting with flowering vertical plants

Flowering climbers can transform a garden by adding height and colour. These ornamental climbing plants work well with a variety of other plant types. For a lively garden, consider pairing flowering climbers with colourful trailing plants like petunias or nasturtiums. These combinations create a vibrant display that attracts bees and butterflies, enhancing ecological gardens. For a more structured look, flowering climbers for façades can be combined with evergreen shrubs. This mix provides year-round interest and privacy. In cutting gardens, flowering climbing plants like clematis or wisteria can be paired with roses or peonies, offering a stunning array of blooms for bouquets. These combinations are not only beautiful but also practical. Flowering climbers for garden structure can support other plants, while fragrant flowering climbers add a sensory experience. Blooming vines on a pergola or fence create a natural canopy, perfect for a shaded seating area. Choosing the best flowering climbers for walls and trellises ensures long-blooming climbing plants that provide continuous colour throughout the season. This approach to companion planting with flowering vertical plants enhances any garden space.

Conditions for climbing flowers to thrive

Flowering climbers, also known as blooming climbers or colourful climbing plants, need specific conditions to flourish. These climbing plants with flowers thrive best in full sun, although some can tolerate partial shade. The amount of sunlight affects their growth and blooming. Wind can be a concern for flowering climbers. To protect them, plant them near a sturdy structure like a fence or pergola. The ideal soil for flowering climbing plants is well-drained and rich in organic matter. Regular fertilisation helps them grow vigorously. Soil moisture is crucial; too much wind or sun can dry the soil, so regular watering is essential. Flowering climbers prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH level. The pH affects nutrient availability, so testing the soil can be beneficial. These plants are perfect for flowering gardens, cutting gardens, and bee and butterfly gardens. They add beauty to colourful gardens and lively gardens, making them ideal for ecological gardens. Whether used as bloomers for pergola or fence, graceful flowering climbers, or fragrant flowering climbers, these vertical bloomers enhance any garden. They are perfect for creating privacy or adding structure to a garden with their abundant flowers.

When and how to plant flowering climbers

Flowering climbers can be planted throughout the year if they come in pots, except during frost. For those with roots or clumps, spring and autumn are ideal. Factors like soil type, sunlight, and climate affect planting success. Ensure the soil is well-drained and enriched with compost for optimal growth. The planting distance for flowering climbers depends on the plant type, initial size, and growth rate. Typically, the number of plants per metre is specified on the product page. This helps in creating a colourful garden or a bee and butterfly garden. Proper soil preparation is crucial. Loosen the soil and mix in organic matter to support the roots. When planting, dig a hole twice the size of the root ball. Place the plant at the same depth as in the pot. Water thoroughly after planting and regularly during dry spells to establish strong roots. These ornamental climbing plants can transform a garden into a lively space. They are perfect for adding structure to a garden or creating privacy with their abundant flowers. Whether for a pergola or a fence, these blush climbing flowers bring life and fragrance to any space.

Caring for Flowering Climbing Plants

Flowering climbing plants, also known as blooming climbers or colourful climbing plants, add beauty to any garden. Proper care ensures they thrive and bloom abundantly.

  • Watering: Flowering climbers need regular watering, especially during dry spells. Check soil moisture by touching the top layer; if dry, water thoroughly.
  • Pruning: Prune flowering climbers in late winter or early spring to encourage new growth. Use sharp tools to remove dead or weak stems, promoting healthy blooms.
  • Fertilising: Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring and summer. This supports growth and flowering. Follow package instructions for the right amount.
  • Dividing: Some flowering climbers benefit from dividing every few years. Do this in early spring to rejuvenate the plant and encourage more blooms.
  • Winter Protection: Protect flowering climbers in colder months by mulching the base. This insulates roots and prevents frost damage.
  • Transplanting: If needed, transplant in early spring. Water well after moving to reduce stress and help roots establish.
Flowering climbing plants are perfect for creating lively gardens and can be used as vertical bloomers on pergolas or fences. They attract bees and butterflies, enhancing ecological gardens. For those looking to buy flowering climbers, consider their role in providing privacy and structure in the garden.
