For some gardeners planting vines is not for the faint of heart. Vines need space, support, training, and for some – lots of pruning. Some vines don\u2019t demand lots of room while others\u00a0chew up lots of space. Small vines like clematis or annual morning glories (Ipomoea<\/em>)\u00a0may be\u00a0grown in a large patio container for many years on heavy duty cord, wire or wood lattice trellis. Some woody vines become massive and need support on a solidly built pergola. To select the best vine for your space, consider the following tips.<\/p>\n

Is the vine an annual or tender perennial or a long-lived woody vine like trumpet (Campsis<\/em>), climbing hydrangeas (H. petiolaris<\/em> anomalis), crossvine (Bignonia capreolata<\/em>), and wisteria (Wisteria spp<\/em>.)? Long\u2013lived woody vines need to be cut back hard from time to time; the vine’s trunk and main branches\u00a0may become enormous and need\u00a0space to grow and a structure sturdy enough to support it.<\/p>\n

Annual vines are great for tucking into small garden spaces, including on patios and decks. Instead of building a trellis, you might allow annual morning glories to weave through nearby shrubs and trees for support. Plant the annual vines in decorative containers and climb onto a nearby shrub or tree via tendrils.<\/p>\n

Some examples of annual vines include hyacinth bean (Lablab purpureus<\/em>), climbing black-eyed Susan (Thunbergia alata<\/em>), Spanish flag (Ipomoea lobata<\/em>), and morning glory vines. They usually do not hurt adjacent trees for support\u00a0and die off in fall. Beware<\/span> – some vines will disperse a large number of seeds.<\/p>\n

Vine’s Level Of Annual Maintenance:<\/span> Woody vines like trumpet vine and wisteria can become pruning nightmares and\u00a0quickly become unmanageable. These vines grow tall, ramble, and often require working from ladders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
