Vines
Trumpet Creeper It is also known as the Trumpet Vine and is a tough vine for hot and dry sites. This plant flowers best in a full sun location. Trumpet Creepers are often grown with multiple trunks. The Trumpet Creeper, Campsis radicans, is a rapid growing, clinging vine that produces orange trumpet shaped flowers in the summer months that attract hummingbirds and butterflies. The abundant sprays of trumpet-shaped orange flowers cover this deciduous vine for an extra long bloom season. The invasive nature of this plant makes it hard to get rid of but also very hardy. The rapid growth makes it an excellent plant for covering fences or arbors.
Japanese Honeysuckle Halliana Hall's Honeysuckles are a very fast growing plant to 15 to 30 feet. When used as a ground cover, they are about 2 feet tall. It produces rampant growth capable of engulfing wire or chain-link fences in just a couple of seasons. Excellent for screening or to drape over an unsightly wall or wood fence. Honeysuckle can be cut nearly to the ground in late winter/early spring when it becomes too big; new shoots emerge and growth resumes in the spring. Be aware that is can be quite invasive.

Ivy English The English Ivy, Hedera helix, is a classic, fan-shaped, silver green English Ivy from the Fall Magic collection. English Ivy is a strong growing, trailing variety that's great for baskets, containers, or as a groundcover. The dense growth and abundant leaves form a thick canopy just above the ground, and prevent sunlight from reaching other plants. It is widely used by homewoners, hirticulturists, landscape contractors and others desiring a fast growing, low maintainence, evergreen cover.
Dropmore Scarlet Honeysuckle Vine The Dropmore Scarlet Honeysuckle Vine, Lonicera 'Dropmore Scarlet', is a vining honeysuckle that is very winter hardy and easy to grow. Easy to grow in fertile, well-drained soil. Hummingbirds are always visiting this plant in our gardens. Be sure to give it a support to climb on right away or soon after it's planted. It has loads of fragrant scarlet-orange, tubular flowers from June to September.
Ivy Duckfoot Other uses are for groundcover indoors and terrariums. A nicely trailing variety that's especially good in baskets. The Duckfoot Vine, Hedera Helix, has small, matt, olive green, rounded, fan shaped leaves that look just like little duck feet. Duckfoots have fast growing short internodes and a good self branching habit.
Five Leaf Akebia The Chocolate Vine, 'Akebia quinata', will grow to the size of its support structure, sometimes growing up to 40’ tall. Although flowers are unusual, they may appear in late March to early April and are fragrant. The fruits are purple-violet and will ripen in late September into early October.
Variegated Mountain Fleece The new spring leaves are variegated pink and white. The Fallopia will reach a mature height of about 4 feet and they will spread and make larger clumps each year, hence, the need for pruning if you want to confine this plant in a smaller area.
Lemon Lace Vine The Lemon Lace Vine, 'Polygonum', is one of the fastest growing vines. ‘Silver Lemon Vine’ should not be planted where it can intermingle with other plants, for it can be extremely invasive.
Aunt Dee Wisteria This deciduous, twining, woody vine is noted for long life and exceptional beauty. Aunt Dee needs support, such as a trellis, arbor or fence to grow and climb on. Prune after flowering.
Trumpet Creeper Indian Summer The unique colored blooms appear in late summer.
Boston Ivy This deciduous vine has tendrils which have 5 to 8 branches, each ending in adhesive-like tips; it has the ability to literally cement itself to the wall and therefore needs no support; good on trees, will also crawl along the ground; secretes calcium carbonate which serves as adhesive.
Dutchmans Pipe The flowers are shaped like a Meerschaum pipe but are not highly ornamental.
Yellow Trumpet Creeper The 'Flava' cultivar is considered by many to be the superior of the species.
