Climbers for small obelisks

5 replies

I bought a couple of obelisks for my sweet peas but having assembled them, realised they are far too small and short.

I think I may have to put them into a large container and grow a small climber.

I have no idea what small climbers though - the obelisks are about 70cm and 80cm in height.

Can anyone recommend some short climbers?

Thanks

Black eyed Susan?

Climbing nasturtium, you can eat the leaves and the flowers. Great for bees too.

I was looking for something perennial - would clematis work or would they grow too big?

You can get 'patio clematis' - www.raymondevisonclematis.com/collections/boulevard-compact-patio

I have Edda. It's a it bright (a gift) but flowers well and for ages.
