VINES Almost every garden can benefit from a strategically placed vine. Whether you want to hide an unsightly view, soften a blank wall or simply to enjoy beautiful flowers on your arbor, there’s a vine for you! Vines can be divided into two groups: clinging and twining. Clinging vines grow by attaching root-like holdfasts to objects, such as walls. Twining vines wind their way through arbors, fences and trellises. They must have some type of support structure, and will not climb walls. Name Akebia, Fiveleaf Akebia quinata Height 20’+ Type Exposure Description Rapid growing.
