Favorite perennial vines?
Any thoughts? Don't particularly care for clematis but would like something
that has bright flowers that can be seen from a distance. Evergreen is a plus. Anyone know trumpet vine or Confederate jasmine? What conditions do they like? Thanks, Elizabeth |

I love morning glories, though they aren't evergreen. So many different
colors of flowers available, very tolerant of different soil types... I grow mine in part-sun, and they do fine (except when the deer eat them!)

Sorry, I guess morning glories aren't perennial, but they are so easy to
grow - I just put the big seeds directly in the ground in the spring, water 'em in, and they all sprout and grow quickly! Emily "Elizabeth" wrote in message hlink.net... Any thoughts?

I like akebia and some of the long flowering honeysuckles. They are
semi-evergreen unless we get the kind of winter we had this year. Carolina jasmine does well and is evergreen. -- Baine "Elizabeth" wrote in message hlink.net... Any thoughts?

I have Pueraria Lobata in my back yard. Large bright green leaves, fragrant purple flowers. Not much troubled by disease or insects. Drought tolerant. Grows well in full sun. Daniel B. Martin |

Might as well be called perennial. My wife loves them. I of course
recognize them as the noxious weed they are! Note on annuals. Last year we planted cardinal vine. It was covered in red flowers and the hummers really took to it. I have pics I could post on a website if anyone is interested. -- Baine "Emily" wrote in message hlink.net...

If you are willing to train and prune, there are few comparisons on
fragrance and beauty. -- Baine "Daniel B. Martin" wrote in message . .. Any thoughts? I have Pueraria Lobata in my back yard. Large bright green leaves, fragrant purple flowers. Not much troubled by disease or insects. Drought tolerant. Grows well in full sun. Daniel B. Martin |

Anyone know trumpet vine or Confederate jasmine? What conditions do they like? Carolina Jessamine (Gelsemium sempervirens) is an outstanding evergreen vine - covered with bright yellow fragrant flowers in early spring. Trumpet Honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens) is somewhat evergreen and has brilliant red tube-shaped flowers that attract hummingbirds. A yellow variety is also available. No fragrance. Crossvine (Bignonia capreolata) is another nice evergreen with hummingbird-attracting flowers that range from orange to yellow, depending on variety. Trumpet Creeper (Campsis radicans) is deciduous, but great if you have an area you want to naturalize (and don't mind the vine taking over). Confederate Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) is evergreen and normally survives here, with small fragrant flowers. |

Any ideas where I can get seeds or plants for crossvine. Can't seem
to find any locally or on the Internet either. Thanks, Gene Hubert Durham Will Cook wrote in message ... Elizabeth wrote: Any thoughts?

Ah, that is a gorgeous vine! I've seen it before but did not know what it
was. Elizabeth "Susan H. Simko" wrote in message ... Gene Hubert wrote: Any ideas where I can get seeds or plants for crossvine.

also know as Bignonia capreolata 'Tangerine Beauty.' All you local
nurseries should carry it at some time or another, and at a price much less than from Wayside. It is vigorous and mostly evergreen, or rather purple; the foliage takes on a purple tinge in winter.
