20 Best Flowering Vines and Vine Plants to Add to Your Garden
Vines can do what no other plant can: Grow up! Vining plants add color and texture to your garden, but they also provide quick privacy and screening of not-so-nice features you don’t want to see (goodbye, ugly concrete wall!). With their sweet scents and lovely blooms, vines are something every garden needs to round out the design. Some vines are annual, so they last one season. Others return year after year, so they’re considered perennial. Make sure you choose a perennial type that can withstand winters in your USDA Hardiness Zone (find yours here). Also, always read the plant tag or description so you plant it in the right place. Full sun means a plant needs at least six hours of direct sunlight per day, while part sun is about half that. Without the right kind of light, your vine may not bloom or will struggle or fry in the hot sun. You’ll also need a trellis, arbor, or other structure for these beauties to climb. Install it when planting so you don’t disturb the roots later.
Here are some of the best vining plants, including the best types of roses, for your garden:
