climbing plants
Upward-growing flora
Plants that grow upward by attaching themselves to surfaces or supports rather than standing independently.
Climbing plants use various mechanisms—twining stems, tendrils, aerial roots, or clinging pads—to scale walls, trellises, trees, and fences.
Common examples include ivy, clematis, and wisteria.
The climbing plants had overtaken the garden shed.
