What can you plant against a wall?

How do you support a climbing plant on a wall?

What is the name of the plant that sticks to walls?
Climbers like ivy and Virginia creeper have aerial roots which help them cling to surfaces like walls and fences, but other climbers like honeysuckle and clematis need a framework to scramble over. Wall shrubs don't climb naturally and need training and tying in to a support.
How do I cover my garden walls?
Use a facade treatment. If the wall you want to cover is a structural wall, then it's safe to apply a facade treatment that attaches directly onto it. This can be in the form of a wood cladding, like the one pictured, or it can be metal, stone, brick or stucco, depending on the surface of the wall. Attach art panels.
