trailing vines

Drooping green climbers

Trailing vines are plants with long, flexible stems that grow downward or along surfaces rather than climbing upward.

The term appears most often in gardening contexts, describing plants suited for hanging baskets or cascading over walls: trailing vines spilled from the window boxes.

Unlike climbing vines, which attach themselves and ascend, trailing vines follow gravity.
