Episode 37: Vines Worth Buying

You may think you do n’t have a place for vine in your garden because you do n’t have a fencing or arbour for them to climb . But , trueness is , you do n’t demand a traditional living system in lodge to grow vines . Many of the recommendations in this episode are vines that make love to jumble or courteously adhere to other plants , and end up being the glue that convey the landscape painting together . Many gardeners are fearful of contain vine because they ’re afraid the vines will engulf or choke out everything in their path . Fortunately , there are a embarrassment of option — several of which we spotlight here — that are not so thuggish and , in fact , might just end up being the drop piece to your garden puzzler .

A honeysuckle that is unlike any other,‘Kintzley ’s Ghost’(Lonicera‘Kintzley ’s Ghost ’ , Zones 4–8 ) has an almost eucalyptus - like show . As a bonus , it is resistant to powdery mould , which often plagues other varieties .

Although not the variety you want to take if looking to make beer , golden hops(Humulus lupulus‘Aureus ’ , Zones 3–8 ) is more ornamental than other cultivar , which is due to its sensational chartreuse - yellowed leaves . Golden hop also tend to be tiresome growing and better behaved than its green - leaved cousins .

Arguably the most refined vine of our recommendations,‘Betty Corning ’ clematis(Clematis‘Betty Corning ’ , Zones 4–9 ) exudes pure elegance . The sky blue / pinkish rosiness curl somewhat upwards at the petal tips , which makes us think of ballerina skirts mid - twist .

We sing a lot about providing pollinator plant life in the garden , but what about host plant life for the larva of those pollinator to nosh on?Dutchman ’s pipe(Aristolochia macrophylla , Zones 3–8 ) is a bold , shade - sleep with vine that happens to be the idealistic food germ for pipevine swallowtail caterpillars ( seen here feeding at Danielle ’s house ) .

Watching amoon flower(Ipomoea alba , annual ) heart-to-heart before your eyes is one of the greatest gladden a gardener can experience . The fact that it is an one-year vine makes this happening all the sweeter .
