Morning glories.

Trumpet vine.

Full sun. Frequently seen along highway fence lines. Long cone shaped red or yellow flowers

The more densely you plant the individual vines the quicker the trellis will be covered. Great for summer coverage/privacy.

I second trumpet vine. It’s basically a weed.

Plus, you can take the unripened flower pods, squeeze them, and shoot the peas out of them.

@andrew Sounds fun. My daughter will have fun doing that!

Thanks everyone!

@andrew One person’s weed is another person’s desired plant :)

Its all relative.

Kinda like some plants are annuals in certain zones yet they are perpetual plants in other zones. (e.g. impatiens in the midwest vs. Mexico)

One other pearl about the trumpet vine….each summer when it gets going, it really grows and will take some tending, training and winding up the trellis. i.e. management will be needed. Compare this to a vine such as wisteria or clematis which has tendrils that help it climb on its own…..

We lurve our fenceline with trumpet vine!
