What plants would be good to use for trellising or scaling a back patio? I know morning glories take hold very well, as do grapes, but I don't want fruit, just something pretty. I have a patio out back made out of maple. It stands on four eight-foot legs (made of maple) and has a lovely covering which is perfect for vines. I don't know how to arrange a plant to allow it to grow up and around the wooden stakes and on up to the covering. How do people have vines scaling the sides of their home in a way reminescent of an English cottage?
Trellising vines?
purple wisteria grows well up a column on to a pergola
Reply:Try also Carolina Jessamine (Jasmine). These vines grow very well in most climates. Just water and they grow like mad. The flowers also smell wonderful too. The downside to the plant is that injesting any part of it is poisonous.
Reply:That sound lovely and that is what I wanted too but I could not stand the bugs and spiders that go along with it.
best luck
