Choosing the appropriate plant materials for greenscreen® requires careful consideration of climate zone, sun and wind exposure, soil type, size of container, feeding needs, adjacent plant materials and desired visual effect. There are different types of vines, the twining, climbing, curling and tendril types are more suitable than the gripping vines that cling by aerial roots or suckers. The less woody vines with flexible stems are the most appropriate for weaving into the panels. Some vines that tend to grow very heavy and tree-like are better off in containers, such as wisteria and bougainvillea as this prevents them from growing too large and heavy for the screens. Mixing vines on the same panel takes considerable knowledge as one needs to be aware of compatibility of soil, light, water and feeding needs. Mixing annuals with perennials works if they are both similarly aggressive, otherwise the more vigorous vine chokes out the more delicate one. There are some vines that climb as well as trail, these are very useful for the "Rolling Bush." It is suggested that a horticulturist, landscape architect or garden designer be consulted for specific applications. |
