Plants that are grown in hanging pots or tall containers so that they fall down beautifully are called ampelous. And there are many more ampelous colors than meets the eye. We have prepared a large catalog for you - with titles and photos!
Garden ampelous flowers
Garden ampelous flowers look great solo and are suitable for creating multi-level compositions. Pay attention to these varieties!
Petunia
The main love of all gardeners, because there are dozens of varieties of various shapes and colors. Petunia also pleases with a long flowering - from early spring to late autumn.
Verbena
A charming herbaceous bush blooms throughout the warm season. In the garden, vervain is grown as an annual, but even during this time its stems can stretch almost a meter.
Ampel nasturtium
Everything is good here - both large decorative leaves, and large flowers of all shades of red or yellow, and excellent vitality even in adverse conditions. Nasturtium can be grown outdoors, but as an annual.
Calibrachoa
In our regions it is still almost a novelty, but it has already earned recognition. Calibrachoa grows in lush, rounded bushes, densely covered with small bell flowers.
Lobelia
During the flowering season, lobelia is so densely covered with small bells that it turns into a real ball. The most common varieties are found in all shades of blue, blue and purple.
Dichondra
This is a great option for lovers of decorative deciduous plants. Dichondra has very showy silvery leaves on long shoots.
Surfinia
This is a real flower miracle from Japanese breeders. Technically, this is a hybrid based on petunia, but surfinia varieties have been placed in a separate category, and since then it has deservedly been considered one of the best ampelous plants for the garden.
Scovola
Scovola does not tolerate temperature changes very well, but she is so beautiful that it is easy for her to forgive this whim. Moreover, scovola blooms continuously throughout the season.
Tumbelina
Another series of petunia varieties that have been singled out in a separate category. It is the perfect decoration for garden verandas, open balconies and gazebos. Most tumbelins have large double flowers of unusual colors.
Moorish bindweed
This bindweed creates stunning, spectacular cascades, although the length of individual shoots is not very impressive. But it branches densely, and also pleases with delicate lilac flowers.
Bidense
Biden is a kind of string, and it is she who feels great in pots and containers. The advantages are obvious: it blooms intensively, is not afraid of cold and drought, loves the sun and has excellent immunity.
Bacopa
Not very popular in our latitudes, and completely in vain. Not only can her hanging lashes grow by 1.5 m, so she blooms with waves, which means - the whole season.
Viola
Viola is one of the most undemanding plants for the garden. Even a beginner can easily cope with it, and moreover, it can be successfully grown as a perennial.
Ampel geranium
It differs from ordinary geraniums by long, powerful shoots that can easily support the weight of leaves and buds. She has large bright flowers and an expressive aroma.
Campanula
Campanula has very large and close-growing beautiful flowers. They are only emphasized by light jagged leaves, creating a spectacular contrast.
What flowers cannot be kept at home: photos and names
Indoor ampelous flowers
Indoor ampelous flowers are especially good on shelves or in hanging pots. They will perfectly decorate any room in your house!
Tradescantia
A short herbaceous perennial with creeping stems, prized for its beautiful ornamental leaves. In order for the bush to be lush and branched, it must be pinched regularly.
Asparagus
Most varieties of asparagus can be grown both as a bush and as an ampel plant. The plant produces a huge number of shoots, and they branch strongly.
Clerodendrum
Clerodendrum easily attracts taking out with lush bunches of inflorescences. But he needs abundant regular watering, otherwise he will begin to shed leaves.
Creeping ficus
It is interesting that on the inside of the creeping shoots of such a ficus there are peculiar suckers. Due to this, the plant can get anywhere and gain a foothold almost everywhere.
Common ivy
If you do not make a separate support for ivy, it grows wonderfully like an ampelous plant. This species is appreciated for its beautiful leaves of a complex angular shape.
Scattered aporocactus
As the name implies, this is an ampelous cactus. At first, it grows straight up, but gradually its shoots go down and become falling - and this is the norm.
Nephrolepis
One of the most beautiful ferns with hanging feathery leaves can grow to astonishing proportions. Some plates with sufficient moisture can stretch up to a meter.
Epiphyllum
The graceful plant with flat triangular stems also belongs to cacti. With proper care, the epiphyllum is densely covered with large funnel flowers of a variety of bright colors.
Scindapsus
Some ampelous types of scindapsus are good for their absolute unpretentiousness. This is the best vine for beginners, which easily tolerates both the lack of light and temperature changes.
Ampel begonia
This is a real find for lovers of flowering ampelous plants. It grows in the form of a dense neat bush and blooms with simple and double flowers, most often - a complex two-tone color.
Cissus
Cissus belongs to grapes, and this fact fully describes it. It grows actively at any time of the year without a dormant period, so young plants need to be replanted annually.
Hoya
This is one of the varieties of ivy, which has about 200 varieties and subspecies. Hoyi can also be grown in different ways, including as an ampelous plant.
Maidenhair
This is another type of fern, but it does not at all look like ferns in the usual sense. Rather, it is a lush ampelous bush with thin black stems and small dissected leaves.
Fuchsia
Due to the characteristic shape and color of the flower, fuchsia cannot be confused with anything else. It has thin stems, beautiful green or reddish leaves and showy drooping buds.
Pellea
As an ampelous plant, a round-leaved pellet with charming round leaves is especially good. They cover thin stems very densely and like to be sprayed regularly.
