The best Trellis for your plants: grow to new heights with Peacock
Climbing plants truly bring a garden to life. They can transform a bare wall or a dull fence into a lush, green oasis in no time, adding a beautiful vertical dimension to your outdoor space. But no matter how enthusiastically these plants grow, they can't do it alone. Without the right support, they will creep along the ground, get tangled, or their fragile stems will break off.
A good trellis is therefore indispensable. It provides your plants with the structure and grip they need to climb safely and healthily. In this blog, we dive into the world of climbing plant support, with a special focus on high-quality trellises and the various models from Peacock.
About Peacock Garden Supports
For the seasoned gardener, Peacock Garden Supports has long been a familiar name. Our brand is synonymous with smart, sustainable garden solutions and high-quality plant support. Where many cheap racks start to rust or bend after just one season, Peacock designs products that last for years and grow alongside the needs of your garden.
What makes our Trellises so unique?
Why should you specifically choose a Trellis from Peacock? There are a few unique features that make our Trellis line stand out:
-
Small mesh sizes: This is a detail that makes a world of difference. The relatively small meshes make it much easier for climbing plants (especially varieties with fine tendrils) to easily find their way up and get a firm grip.
-
Extremely strong and weather-resistant: The trellises are made of a sturdy metal frame and feature a robust, weather-resistant coating. Rain, frost, or bright sun; these racks brave all the elements with ease.
-
Endlessly expandable: Thanks to the handy connectors, you can easily link multiple trellises together. This allows you to create a wide green wall or a high climbing tower in no time.
-
Freestanding flexibility: You are not bound to a wall or fence! By smartly combining the trellises with sturdy Peacock plant stakes, you can also easily place them as freestanding elements right in the middle of your border.
Expert Tip: Use a freestanding trellis to naturally create depth or a partition in your garden, without it feeling massive or closed off.
Which Model Fits Your Garden?
Peacock offers several variants, ensuring there is a perfect match for every plant and every space. Below you will find a handy overview to help you choose:
| Model | Features | Ideal For |
| Small (S) | Compact and subtle. Takes up little space. | Smaller climbing plants, flower pots, or gardens/balconies with limited space. |
| Medium (M) | The standard size. Offers a nice balance between height and width. | Versatile for use in almost any border or against most fences. |
| Large (L) | Extra wide and tall for maximum support and coverage. | Fast-growing, larger plants or covering a blank wall. |
| Fan (Waaier) | Aesthetically pleasing design that widens towards the top. | Decorative applications where the trellis itself is meant to be seen, even in winter. |
Practical Tips for Optimal Use
Have you chosen the right Trellis? Then it's time to get started! Get the most out of your purchase with these practical tips:
1. The Right Placement
-
Against a wall: Make sure you don't mount the trellis flush against the back wall. Leave a few centimeters of space between the wall and the trellis. This ensures good air circulation around the leaves, preventing mold and keeping your plant much healthier.
-
Freestanding: Push the Peacock plant stakes deep and firmly into the ground and attach the trellis to them. This is perfect for creating a green pillar in the middle of your flower border.
2. The Perfect Plant Match Not every plant climbs the same way. These favorites do fantastically well on Peacock trellises:
-
Clematis: This beautiful bloomer loves the small mesh sizes. The fine leaf stems can wrap around them perfectly.
-
Climbing Rose: Roses do not attach themselves and need to be tied up. The sturdy metal frame provides the perfect anchor point to guide the rose branches horizontally for richer blooming.
-
Wisteria: This vigorous grower needs serious support. A solid trellis provides the robustness that a young wisteria requires.
3. Simple and Healthy Maintenance Give your climbing plants a little help in the beginning by loosely tying the shoots to the trellis using special Peacock tying materials. Be careful not to pinch them. Prune your plants regularly to keep them in shape and prevent them from becoming bare at the bottom.
Whether you dream of a romantic wall full of fragrant climbing roses or a playful, freestanding clematis in your border; a good trellis is the foundation of your success. The trellises from Peacock Garden Supports offer the perfect combination of functionality, durability, and a smart, adaptable design. Thanks to the different sizes and the ability to link them or use them freestanding, there is a solution for every garden wish.
Give your climbing plants the stage (and the support!) they deserve. Check out the different models and choose the Trellis that takes your garden to the next level today!
