BLOOMING VINES

Vines, by their nature, are almost always climbing vines. There are also some that make good hanging flower vines for your baskets hanging under trees or on the front porch. Some vines are also in the fruit category. The passion fruit is a beautiful perennial climbing vine that has very showy flowers and then a fruit that can be eaten off the vine or made into a wonderful juice. It would make a nice fast growing vine for a fence or trellis. The kiwi also falls into this category.
One of the most popular fast growing flowering vines is the trumpet vine. It is an evergreen vine and will take some cold without damage, although it is still considered a tropical flowering vine. It can be grown as a large shrub or small tree and makes a beautiful focal point in the landscape.

If you have some large trees in your yard, a great climbing vine for shade that also produces a usable product is the pepper family. Yes, they flower and yes some of them produce pepper that you can use in your kitchen. If you like to know what is in your food, grow your own! Another perennial, fast growing and evergreen climbing vine is the Monstera family. Monstera deliciosa will climb the side of a large tree and can produce an edible fruit after a few years. It is very tropical looking, but will take some cool nights as it is protected under the canopy of the tree.
