If you are looking for the perfect addition to your outdoor patio or deck, look no further than a planter with trellis combination! Lots of people already have plants growing in these areas, so why not use the addition of a planter to watch your beautiful flowers and vines as well as vegetables grow up as well as than out?

Not every kind of plant is suited to climb a trellis. A plant must be classified as a climbing plant in order to wrap or adhere itself to this means of support. Some plants, such as  grapes, purple passionflower, and sweet peas, are tendril climbers. The main stem of the plant develops small tendrils which grab hold of the support when they touches it. This is how they anchor themselves to the trellis. 

Twining climbing plants, such morning glory, moonflower, black eyed Susan vines, clematis, climbing nasturtium, and honeysuckle, have either leaves or stems that twine around a support such as a trellis. Using their leaves like the tendrils, they twist around the trellis – or anything else in their way that they deem suitable as a support, as soon as they touch it. These plants would really stand out when growing on a trellis. Clematis especially comes in many beautiful colors.

Plants classified as scramblers cannot climb by themselves. Occasionally, they will have thorns that can help them to get a grip on a support. To use scramblers, such as climbing roses and bougainvillea with your trellis, you will need to give them a little help. The usual method is to use wire or strong string to tie them onto the trellis where you want them to grow. There are many varieties of climbing roses, most notably the Joseph's Coat, which can have orange, pink, yellow, and red flowers on its vines all at the same time. You would love the way a Joseph's Coat nestled in a planter would grow on a trellis and adorn your patio or wood deck.

Some plants have actual adhesive pads! Boston ivy and Virginia creeper are two of these. They produce tendrils on their stems that contain these pads, which will stick to just about any surface there is. Another classification of climbing plants uses their own stem roots to cling to a trellis. Notable among these are climbing hydrangea and English ivy, both of which would look stunning on a planter with trellis combination.

If you are considering a new landscape patio design, this information is for you: 

1. Unity is the key: How many times have you been to a person’s house only to see that their landscape patio design is completely haphazard, with nothing that makes it look like a cohesive design? The answer is probably "pretty often" if you have neighbours and friends that are into landscape design. Most people plant and construct what they like rather than what goes well together. Do not fall into this same trap; each element you add to your landscape should bring the overall design together, not drive it apart.

2. Aesthetics, not symmetry: While an aesthetic design for your landscape is certainly an important thing, this is not the same thing as symmetry. Symmetrical landscapes can be appealing, or they can appear artificial. Do not be afraid to landscape asymmetrically as long as the overall design is pleasing.

3. Relief and Emphasis: The best way to create something with emphasis is to have it contrast with the surrounding area, thereby creating some sort of relief. This can help your landscape immensely if done properly.

4. K.I.S.S: Keep it simple, stupid! This is one of the most famous design acronyms around. The more complicated your design is, the harder it will be to implement.

5. Moderate Variety: Too much variety will detract from unity, but too little will have the same effect as symmetry.

6. Free Space: A lot of times the addition of space or the leaving of space can actually be a good thing for your landscape. It’s like when you choose to leave something blank or else very lightly filled in on a painting; it is there to provide contrast and to provide a different look in a positive way.

7. Lighting: Lighting should be a fairly easy consideration in your landscape patio design. This is because lighting will determine which elements you see as dusk settles over your patio. Putting your lighting in those spots that need to be highlighted must be an essential part of your early blueprints.

8. Transitions: Almost as important as the elements that you choose to include are the transitions between elements. You want the transitions to be smooth and seamless so that the unity (see tip #1!) is preserved and enhanced.

9. Price: Everything that you want to do comes with an amount of money you need to pay in order to get it done, and that is why price is also a very important consideration; plan with your budget in mind.

10. Effort: Anything to be created takes both money and effort (you can of course pay more money to a contractor to decrease the effort necessary if you wish) and therefore you need to consider a) whether this is within your budget and do-able by you or b) whether the materials and the money that a contractor would need are both within the budget that you have for this project.
