What is the easiest climbing plant with white flowers to care for?

The white flowers are very pretty, and even more so when they are produced by climbing plants since they are usually hanging. In addition, we can consider ourselves lucky as there are many species of vines and shrubs with very long and flexible branches that have flowers of that color.

Would you like to know which is the most beautiful and easy to care for climbing plant with white flowers? I confess that it is not easy for me to choose one, because there are many that only need very basic care to be well. Well, here you have our selection.

Selection of climbing plants with white flowers

As it is very difficult to tell you just one, we have made a selection of several species that can do very well if the weather is right. Thus, we have included tropical species and others that are suitable for temperate climates. Check out:

La bougainvillea or Santa Rita as she is also called, It is an evergreen, deciduous or semi-deciduous climber -everything will depend on the temperatures in autumn and winter- up to 10 meters high which is really very easy to care for. You just have to ensure that the leaves and flowers are exposed to sunlight, and the stems/trunks in semi-shade or shade.

It needs little care. In fact, what we must do is water it so that it does not dry out, and keep it protected from intense frosts in the event that they occur. It withstands the cold well, but moderate to intense frosts cause very serious damage.

the sweet pea It is a short-lived climbing plant.; in fact, it is normally grown as an annual plant since it does not support low temperatures. However, in tropical climates or indoors it can live for several years as it does not exceed 2 meters in height. The leaves are oval and pinnate, green in color, and it produces flowers of various colors, such as pink, violet or white.

It has to be put in a sunny place, or with a lot of light, so that it can grow. In this way, we will ensure that it has a good development. In addition, it must be watered from time to time, since it does not resist drought.

Simple leaves with somewhat serrated margins sprout from them, and their lovely white flowers sprout in inflorescences during spring and summer. It reaches a height of 9 meters.

It is a species that grows in places protected from direct sunlight, and in acid soils. But otherwise, you only have to water it with fresh or rain water several times a week during the summer, and a few times less the rest of the year. It withstands very well frosts of up to -18ºC.

It is recommended to have it outside, in a place where there is a lot of light (it does not need direct sunlight). Also, it has to be watered several times a week in summer, and less during winter. It supports the cold, not the frosts.

Which one is the best?

Well, as they say: for tastes, colors. To this, we must add the climatic conditions that exist in the area where we live, since not all climbers can live well in it. But if we take into account its rusticity and easy cultivation, I personally prefer the false jasmine, that is, the Solanum jasminoides.

It looks tropical but is frost resistant, which is certainly very interesting as this means it can grow in a wide variety of climates.

But, which one did you like the most?
