Default Safe Climbing Plants

Hey.

Hope you all good and your torts are enjoying the sun?

Can anyone recommend or suggest any climbing plants that are safe for torts?

So far I have come up with climbing roses and honeysuckle. I'd like something which flowers.

I love clematis but that's a no as the trellises that i have will be above the tort enclosures.

Please help

Thanks as always,

Row x

Hi Row, how are you and new abode?

Are you looking at more established plants. My lot love bindweed ! black eye susan (sub species of columbine I think) and nasturtiums do climb if tied. grapevine is superb also, most of my Horsfields love it, CB

I would suggest trying them first in case they are as fussy as mine. So for example they ate all the nasturtiums once but then never touched them again. They have never been interested in roses. They love bind weed and continue to eat that every year.
