If you fondly remember the tale of Jack’s beanstalk from your childhood, you most certainly will want to consider these fantastic additions to your vertical wall garden in South Florida.

- Nephrolepis Exaltata– This simple fern creates a nice foundation for any vertical garden. It loves humidity and helps keep the garden cool as it reaches for the heavens.
- Hoya Carnosa– The Hoya Carnosa is a plant that’s open to suggestions and directions. It is easily convinced to grow wherever you want. This makes it easy to intertwine the plant within the garden as it grows, and the plant’s white flowers provide a nice touch of contrast to the green shades of the vertical garden.
- Stephanotis Floribunda – Big and billowing, the “Wedding Vine” is a landscape design idea well-suited for creating a bit of privacy. It easily attaches itself to fencing, walls, and other structures. As it grows, it creates a fantastic fragrance that can help you rest and relax behind a living privacy screen.
