Re: RE: Re: Clematis

If you are looking for annual vines I can't think of anything better than morning glories. I mix mine with moon flower vines so I have flowers day and night. They love hot, harsh conditions. The only problem is with reseeding, but I don't mind.

oh the sweet autumn does great, I am just afraid if I
move it I will kill it... not to mention the darn
thing is a tad big now :) It is on the other side of
my hot tub. Thought was I could enjoy the fragance
while relaxing in the tub downwind of it.

Honeysuckle's seem to do well on the fence so I will
probably add more this season.

I have also thought of planting somekinda of annual
climber that gets going quickly. It would shade the
fence and let the clemitas get established so it can
provide it's own shade.... problem is, then what
happens when the annual die and you have to get the
'stuff' out from inbetween....

always something...

too, she doesn't
remember the name of it. My Blanche Sandman
honeysuckle doesn't mind it
a bit, or the trumpet vine (Campsis 'Flava')
something like that, not at
home to look it up. Gourds too, but your season
probably isn't long
enough for gourds.

So which one can take a nice hot fence? I started
with them to cover my
chain link fence (just can't stand the site of it)
but it seems to fry them.
The root do ok, but you can just see it killing off
the growth as it clings
to that hot fence.
