When you go to choose your vine or ground cover is very important that you consider the use or functionality you want. As a result you can choose the most appropriate place or space you have.

You can follow a functional or ornamental instead a.

It will be functional when:
1 – Whether to cover a wall, if ground covers is a wall that you will have to paint over time be careful not to choose a plant that will stick or adhere to the wall with adventitious roots or suckers, as they will leave marks and stains very difficult to remove. Conversely, if the wall were looking cover is made of brick or you will not need painting or retouch then you can place the type of vines of which we talked earlier. Example of these are the ivy, the love of the wall and Ampelopsis. There is also another point to consider. If you want the vine loses its leaves in winter for the sun to fall on the wall, a good option is the ampelosis. In contrast, if you want to stay all year round with leaves, ivy or should you put in love with the wall.

2 – Whether to cover a pergola: in this case is essential to take into account the speed or how quickly you want the pergola is covered and if you want the sun to pass through it during the winter. Plants ideal for this are the wisteria, and growing at high speed shadow form almost immediately. Other plants are ideal bognonia pink jasmine.

3 – Whether to place on a wire: when you create a boundary ideal place them well ground covers covered. Especially if it is a fence that is not decorative. For this functionality the choice should be aimed at growing plants dense and compact, which do not require staking or permanent maintenance and form a circle like a wall. There vines presenting a large defect is grown much in the top and less so in the lower left nearly bare. For this reason, we recommend that you choose plants that grow but slow to start but eventually comply with their role to perfection.

Will ornamental when:
1 – When you choose for your flowering and because it occurs in a particular time of year.
2 – When looking vines and ground covers of colorful or attractive foliage that combines well with the rest of the plants in your garden.
Another way to choose them is if you want to be in full sun, partial shade or full shade, or for dry, wet or waterlogged, acidic, neutral or alkaline.
Ground covers all depends on you ….
