If you need a versatile plant to solve a garden problem, think vines.
Use them to cover plain, unsightly cinder block or wooden fences. Simply attach plastic coated wire to the surface and plant vines 6 to 10 feet apart and use stretchy green plastic tape to attach the vines to the wire support.
You can also use trellises against empty spaces on walls and buildings and espalier (attach and spread the vine against the trellis) vines against them. Or plant a vine in a container with trellis and espalier it to form a great movable wall or decorative piece for porches and patios. Add trailing perennials around the vine for even more impact.
Vines make beautiful and dramatic coverings on latticed overhangs, arches, and arbors. They can be planted in deep pots and placed against support posts if no ground space is available for planting. Combine 2-3 different vines for blooms year round.
We've got a lot of great vines that bloom well into fall.
Go Vine Crazy!- It's an inexpensive way to bring color and drama to your garden on a whole different level. |
