Vine for hot sunny patio
Greetings, I have a 3X2 area of good soil (sandy + compost),
surrounded by a brick patio in full sun. Needless to say, the place becomes hot during the day, with air temp routinely exceeding 100. Last two vines I tried both died there, though two small rose bushes survive. It is Michigan, now officially Zone 6, so it can get cold in the winter. Behind the area I have a wooden lattice. Anything that will do well in there and climb the lattice? |

om... Greetings, I have a 3X2 area of good soil (sandy + compost), surrounded by a brick patio in full sun.

It is Michigan, now officially Zone 6, so it can get cold in the winter. Behind the area I have a wooden lattice. Anything that will do well in there and climb the lattice? Try a mandevilla. The large, trumpet shape blossoms are gorgeous, and it thrives in heat as long as it get adequate water and fertilizer. I have one growing in a large pot on a hot, concrete patio, where it's filling up a trellis with leaves and blossoms. Our 90+ degree temperatures haven't slowed it down a bit. As a bonus, it can be hauled inside and preserved for the following year. John John |
