DECEPTIVE trellis can be a treasure for your garden. It is decorative and ideal for a large wall surface. If used, it will provide the opportunity of growing climbers that require support.
When using the trellis ornamentally, do not overplant and avoid covering it with climbers. To allow air to circulate freely, fix a trellis panel so that it is held slightly away from the wall and make sure that the base of the frame work is approximately 30cm (12cm) above soil level.
Walls are likely to need maintenance (repainting, painting or rendering) at sometime, so it is wise to attach the trellis onto a hook so that the whole plant and trellis may be taken down when it is time for wall repair.
