Recommend a vining plant

I have a fence. I can't plan much of anything along the fence because it is a dry creek.

I want to plan some flowery vining plant at the base of the fence on the posts.

 

Full sun.

 Any suggestions?

Re: Recommend a vining plant

  • Passion flower? (I have heard it can rouge in some areas, but it's pretty well-behaved out where I am.)

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
  • I don't know where you are, but I live in NY and have morning glory and moon flower climbing from the ground up my second story deck stairs.  It looks great all summer long.

  • Clematis is what I have for going up my mailbox but it has stretched over to my front yard fence too.  My parents have some going up the trellis on this deck

    I like passion flower as well. What zone are you in? I also like crossvine (Bignonia capreolata).

  • Morning Glory (I always pulled them up at the end of the season, they reseed themselves, some would say they are an invasive pest)

    Arctic kiwi - I have some in pots but haven't planted them yet.

    grapes - Muscadine or scupadine would probably grow well in your area, they grow well in mine.  I honestly can't differentiate between the two, they are not fleshy grapes.  I have a bunch of wild ones behind my fence. ETA - these aren't flowery and can be heavy for a fence but I think you like having edibles, so I mentioned them.

    Someone further down mentioned jasmine.  I had one on the lamppost in my  old yard and loved it.  I had an evergreen one.

  • Wisteria or, if you live in the right climate, jasmine.  Both have lovely vines even when not blooming and are perennial. 

    My morning glories are a little slow to get started in the spring, but they take over everything they can grab.

  • I love clematis, jasmine and wisteria. I have 4 different kinds of clematis along a fence in our yeard, they mix and mingle, which is fun color wise! Just planted wisteria and winter jasmine, not sure how they'll do, but whenever I see those, I love 'em.
