Creepers

By David Beaulieu, About.com

Definition: Creepers are vine plants that need to be artificially guided and secured to a support (trained), if they are to grow upright. For instance, you could build an arbor and train creepers to grow on it, tying the vines loosely with twine.
Also Known As: creeping vines, trailing plants
