Are you looking for a way to add lush foliage to your Tucson landscaping? Consider adding vines to your yard! There are a number of creative ways to utilize vines in your landscape design. With vines, you can add each of the following to your property:
Shade
There’s no better way to enjoy your beautiful Tucson yard than by relaxing in the shade, and vines can be a great option for providing shade to your yard. If you have a pergola or a trellis that extends overhead, you can train vines to grow along it. Soon, the growing vines will fill in the spaces between the slats of your trellis or pergola, becoming a living roof that’s perfect for shading a seating area.
Tree-Like Growth
You might be surprised to learn that many vines can be trained to grow like trees. The result is a beautifully unique plant that adds visual interest to your yard. Be sure to ask your landscaper about the vines that will be best for achieving a tree-like appearance while complementing the rest of your landscaping.
Fruit
More and more Tucsonans are investing in edible landscaping, and vines are one of the best options. Many vines that grow well in the desert also bear edible fruit. Grapes, passion fruit, and kiwis are all great options to consider if you want to upgrade your landscape with edible options.
Color
Desert landscaping doesn’t have to be drab! With vines, you can add colorful foliage and flowers that extend up your walls, trees, and other structures. Bougainvillea is one of the most popular flowering vines that you’ll see in Tucson landscapes, and is available with pink, white, or orange flowers. Varieties of jasmine and trumpet vine are also great options to consider.
