Vines to give you a lift

Once you've built a trellis, then you need a vine to grow on it - preferably one that flowers over a long period. These should do well in most parts of the US:

Annual vines:

Allamanda (Allamanda cathartica)

Cypress vine (Ipomoea quamoclit)

Cathedral bells (Cobaea scandens)

Black-eyed Susan vine (Thunbergia alata)

Mandevilla (Mandevilla x Amabilis)

Moonflower (Ipomoea alba)

Morning glory (Ipomoea tricolor)

Purple hyacinth bean (Dolichos lablab)

Sweet potato vine (Ipomoea batatas)

Perennial vines:

Clematis

Dutchman's pipe (Aristolochia macrophylla)

Five-leaf akebia (Akebia quinata)

Goldflame honeysuckle (Lonicera x Heckrottii)

Hardy kiwi (has variegated leaves)

Roses - Climbers and ramblers

Scarlet honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens)

Trumpet vine (Campis radicans)

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
