Hello everyone! What are some fast growing leafy plants that could extend from wooden supports every 4 Meters or so? I’m looking to make a pretty long natural walkway with some sort of shade overhead. I think fast growing plants are the best option. Is there something leafy enough to cross 4 meters?
I’m in a wet temperate climate.
Yeah you can trellis them, a lot of times they won’t make the tuber and will just be a leafy cover with pretty flowers. Bonus, the leaves are delicious!
This is potentially even better. I’m used to potatos being treated as minorly invasive. Is this not the case for sweet potatoes? Pretty flowers and edible leaves are neat.
I’m in the PNW, US, they aren’t considered invasive, they grow easily, but won’t outcompete other stuff. Mind, we are talking about Sweet Potatoes (Ipomoea batatas) not nightshade potatoes (Solanum tuberosum), which are an entire different group of plants, and those don’t climb
