We’re planning to build a free-standing pergola in our backyard for outdoor dining from Spring through to Autumn. What would you recommend as a plant cover?
Wisteria is a deciduous and vigorous climber that will quite easy cover a pergola. In Spring, it has beautifully perfumed pendulous racemes of purple, pink or white flowers. These are followed by luscious green leaves that will give thick shade over the Summer. In Autumn, as the cooler weather comes, the leaves will turn a lovely golden colour, then drop, providing both mulch for the garden and sunlight.
