Vines and Groundcovers

 
The type of vine you choose depends on the type of structure or support it will have.  Some vines cling, others twine around the support, and some have tendrils which hold it to its support.  We offer quite a selection of hardy vines and annual vines for sun or shade, trellises or arbors, fences or walls.
 
Clinging Vines
English Ivy - evergreen for shade
Boston Ivy - deciduous, beautiful orange & red fall color
Trumpetcreeper 'Flava' -  beautiful buttercup yellow, vigorous  
 

Twining Vines
Porcelain berry vine - sun or shade, variegated leaves, blue berries
Red honeysuckle - hummingbirds love the red flowers
'Goldflame' honeysuckle - pink and yellow flowers are a beauty
Wisteria - not for the small and weak - trellis, that is. Very vigorous, needs super strong support, may take several years to bloom, depending on the type of wisteria.  American wisterias bloom at an earlier age.  Can also be trained as a tree.
 
Vines with Tendrils
Grapes - edible fruit, prune each February
Clematis - twining leaves curl around the trellis, beautiful large flowers in many colors, or small white fragrant flowers (Sweet Autumn Clematis) in August-Sept.
Annual Vines (some reseed themselves or are tropical)
Mandevilla - gorgeous pink blooms, can over winter indoors
Cypress vine - hummingbirds love the little red flowers, reseeds in spring
Cardinal vine - also a favorite of hummingbirds, small red flowers, reseeds
Moonflower vine - large white fragrant night-blooming flowers
Morning glory - traditional blue flowers, but other colors available in seed packages
Purple hyacinth bean vine - beautiful purple pods, interesting, start from seed
