Can someone please help me choose a vine?
Question:I'd like to get a vine, that grows fast and is, well, invasive. Kinda like an ivy vine, or a wisteria. I'd like it to bloom in mid -to late summer, and have blooms that last a long time. Any sudgestions? Oh, and i don't want a clematis, i already have one of those.
Answers:
You don't say where you live, but I will try and suggest some that bloom mid-to late summer. Honeysuckle, trumpet vine,
Wisteria, I think is a spring bloomer. And boston ivy does not have any blooms.
I grew trumpet vine and boy did it attract the hummingbirds! (I lived in Michigan at the time.)
[ Zone 10: passion vine, bougainvillea, alamanda, dutchman's pipe, confederate jasmine]
Morning glory, moonflower or moon vine (blooms at night)
White clematis (sometimes called Polish clematis) in NY can really take off and grow well. Honeysuckle is also very fragrant and invasive.
Cobaea scandens --White Cup and Saucer Vine
Morning glories
Cypress Vine
Ipomoea multifida -- Cardinal Climber
Climbing roses
Vinca Vine
Mandivilla (spelling?)
Hyacinth Bean Vine
I am a big fan of Ivy/Vine plants.
If you want one that is very hardy and easy to grow in almost any soil go for Virginia Creeper.
It has very pretty white blooms on it.
I live in Virginia and they are everywhere here. I have one growing up the lamp post beside my driveway in the yard.
They can be expensive though.
They will last for years and years and years. If you decide on getting one be sure to put it in a place that it can stay for years to come. The roots on them are extremely tough! Just try to pull one up and you might as well be pulling up an oak tree!
They are really good plants and beautiful. You should do a search to learn more about them and to find a picture of what they look like. Although I am sure you will really like and enjoy one!
They will thrive in partial shade.
ok not that you didnt ask anything hard hahah but that is a tuff ? anyway go with the evergreen climatis but your bloom time is off it blooms early spring ...or go with the cross vine or the trumpet vine or go with the rankini jasmine but it blooms early spring and fall you get two blooms out of that i use this alot on hill sides it really looks great any way i could go on and on but your asking alot when i first read this i was like this is a joke right !! haha your really not goona get much for your timeing of bloom ok stay away of what the other person said no alamanda's or pasion vines they wont make it where you are anyway take it or leave it have a good time with it
