Southern Clinging Vines by queenteamum on Blogster

Recommended Annual Vines for the South :

Black Eyed Susan Vine
Unlike many climbing vines, this one isn't invasive so it can be incorporated into existing gardens without fear of crowding out existing plants. It's a great choice for hanging baskets and window boxes.
Height: 5' to 10' trailing vine

Cardinal Climber Vine
The deep red flowers with white or yellow throats are sure to draw attention to your trellises, fences and poles.
Height: 6' to 20' vine

Cypress Vine
This vine can add a tropical texture to your landscape with its interesting foliage and mix of bright red, pink and white flowers. With the right conditions, it grows to 20 feet.
Height: 8' to 10' vine

Hyacinth Bean Vine
This striking vine will have your visitors asking if it's real! The flowers are followed by velvety purple bean pods.
Height: 6' - 20' vine

Mina Lobata
'Firecracker Vine' or 'Exotic Love,' this unusual, exciting, interesting annual vine has up to 12
beautiful 2" tubular flowers on each spike. Performs well on trellises and in hanging baskets.
Height: 6' to 10' vine

Moonflower
Plant this fast-growing vine on a porch, near an entrance, or under a window where you can enjoy the evening performance and heady fragrance. The flowers bloom only at night, and unfold in 2-3 minutes, and event worth waiting for!
Height: 10' to 20' vine

Morning Glories
In the summer, flowers open in the morning, and in the fall they stay open all day. Morning glories are grown as a groundcover in difficult areas.
Height: 8' - 10' vine

Sweet Peas
Sweet peas are shorter than most of the other annual vines mentioned here, but their outstanding fragrance make them worthwhile when height isn't important. They make a wonderful cut flower.
Height: 3' to 5' vine

I think i have some morning glory vines growing on my fence. I told hubby he is not allowed to weed eat the vines. I think it looks so pretty, the vines growing up the fence with these cute little blue flowers. [THUMBUP]

I actually heard a woman in a garden center (a yankee) ask where she could get some wisteria. Everyone within earshot was dumbstruck. It's the most invasive hard to control vine imaginable and folks here stay busy trying to get rid of it! [SMILE]

[LOL] I think the only Southerner's with wisteria are the ones that inherited vines that were so entrenched they just had to go with the flow and try to keep it from taking over completely! No one in their right mind would plant it. As for kudzu....I think they still are trying to find the so and so that introduced that!
