The vetch, a fragrant climbing artist
Like little colorful splashes of color, enveloped by a delicate fragrance, the flowers of vetch shine through the garden. For this reason, the acrobatic climber is at home in many green areas and beautifies house walls and bare fences.
Attractive fouling for one year
Many types of vines thrive once a year and are extremely fast growing. During the summer months, they can easily reach heights of growth of up to two meters. It is important that you give the plants a climbing aid, so that they find enough support.
Suitable climbing frames
Excellent are wire mesh fences, because the climbing organs of the vetch can hold tight to them. Thick wood trellises, however, are less ideal because the delicate plant can not grow around the strong struts. In this case, simply nailing wire mesh to the wooden scaffolding and the vetch will rise to heaven in no time.
Make sure that the site is sheltered from the wind and sunny, so that the tendrils are not bent by winds.
Vetching bushy tendrils
Let the vetch climb the trellis free, it thrives bushy and very lush. Remove only weak or dried shoots at regular intervals, as these cost the plant unnecessary strength and affect the appearance.
Show off Wicken
It is extremely attractive if you use the Wicken in the trellis method. Well suited are not too thick bamboo or plant rods. Proceed as follows:
As a result, the plant puts all the power in this main drive and flower formation. The flowers are very large and can be cut well for the vase.
Water vetches regularly
The green of the vetch not only evaporates moisture on hot summer days. The climbing plants must therefore be sufficiently poured.
It is also recommended to mulch the vetch. Well suited for this are the truncated tendrils, as they provide the plant with valuable nutrients at the same time.
Tips
So that the vetch forms many flowers, it is important to regularly remove effused flowers. So the plant does not even come to seed and flowers well into the fall. Also the possibly unwanted clearing is prevented by this care measure.
