Do you know about the Fastest Growing Creeper Plants in India? We’ve got all the information about these beauties!

Best Creeper Plants

Creeper plants are a fantastic way to bring color to your outdoor space. And if you’re impatient (like us!), then super fast-growing creepers are just the thing. We have a whole bunch of these speedy climbers that’ll cover your space in no time.


 What are Creeper Plants?

Creeper plants are the ones with weak stems that can’t stand up straight on their own. Instead, they sprawl along the ground, sending out roots as they go–like watermelons or pumpkins.

They’re different from climbers, though, so don’t confuse the two. Climbers are more ambitious–they also have weak stems, but they use special tendrils or hooks to grab onto anything nearby, like fences or other plants, to climb upwards. Jasmine and Money Plant are good examples of climbers.

Now that you know everything about creepers, let’s take a look at the best ones you’ll find across the country.

These vines are absolutely gorgeous–they have twinning stems covered in lavender, trumpet-shaped flowers. This fast-growing creeper can climb 15-20 feet in a year and grow as long as 65 feet. The best part is that it will give you flowers all around the year, just not in the cooler winter months.

7. Curtain Creeper                                                                                                                                         Creeper Vine In Garden 3

Curtain Creepers are lovely creepers that are native to the country. They have long, narrow leaves with a leather texture and thrive in bright, indirect light. Did you know that it can cover a 20-30 feet tall wall in just 2-3 years? That’s how fast this creeper grows.

8. Golden Trumpet

Golden Trumpets are great for adding a pretty yellow color to your lawn or backyard. They’re well suited for warm climates, which are found all over the country, and are pretty fast-growers, reaching about 20-30 feet if you give them something to climb. But even without the support, they bush out nicely.

9. Sweet Potato Vine

Sweet Potatoes are vibrant and easy creepers for your garden. They’re the whole package–they thrive in warm temperatures, can spread quickly, and can grow several feet in a single season. They love sunshine but can tolerate shade, too. And the best part is, they will reward you with sweet potatoes you can relish. Pair it up with these plants if you grow it.

Sky Blue Cluster Vines are also good creeper choices that grow fast, growing 10-20 feet in a single season. They’re pretty low-maintenance and thrive in full sun to partial shade, spreading beauty with their blue flowers. Just let the soil dry slightly between waterings, and your vine will keep thriving.

11. Garlic Vine

Garlic Vines are actually native to South America but are pretty common in India, too. You can easily find them in local nurseries if you want one for your home. These creepers are not fussy about sunlight but need proper watering. You might even have to do it twice a day if you live in an area that’s too hot. But they’ll easily grow about 10 feet in a couple of years.

12. Flaming Trumpet Vine

Flaming Trumpet Vine

Flaming Trumpet is a showstopper–it has beautiful orange flowers and is a vigorous creeper that can grow 30-35 feet in height. These plants prefer cooler temperatures so they’re great if you live in hilly areas or somewhere that is cool. They can thrive in warmer weather as well, but they won’t flower as profusely.

13. Hoya

Hoya might not grow as fast as other creepers on our list, but it’s here because it’s a steady grower. If you care for it the right way, it will grow a few inches each month. So you need indirect sunlight, a well-draining potting mix, and watering it only when the soil feels completely dry to the touch.

14. Strawberry

Strawberry

Strawberries aren’t exactly creepers. These are perennials that have long runners that spread on the ground or pot and root, but the main plant stays bushy. You should definitely grow these, though. They grow pretty fast and will start producing fruit in just a year. Our guide will help you in growing strawberries at home.
