I have used many different vines to grow on the wire fences and trellises at Dawn Gardens. Here are a few of them:
Chilean Bellflower (Lapageria rosea). National flower of Chile.
Very slow growing. Also available in pink. Part shade.
Variegated Porcelain Berry (Ampelopsis brevipedunculata ‘Elegans’) The birds and the bees love these berries which are green, purple, rose, blue, white and pink. Deciduous Vine.
California Dutchman’s Pipe (Aristolochia californica) Deciduous vine native to California.
Holboellia coriacea
Kangaroo Treebine (Cissus antarctica). Killed when the temperature got down to 30 degrees.
Evergreen Clematis (Clematis armandii) – very fragrant
Anemone Clematis (Clematis montana)
Clematis ‘Avalanche’
Sweet Autumn Clematis (Clematis terniflora) blooms late summer to fall.
Clematis ‘Nellie Moser’
Clematis ‘Multi Blue’
Clematis ‘Rouge Cardinal’
Clematis ‘Jackmanii’
Clematis ‘Jackmanii Superba’
Lilac Vine (Hardenbergia violacea) Evergreen vine from Australia. Killed when the temperature got down to 29 degrees.

Chinese Wisteria (Wisteria sinensis)
Japanese Wisteria (Wisteria floribunda) This plant is planted at the base of an Oak tree at Dawn Gardens and in 6 years it has grown to the top and its flowers cascade down. In future years I expect all the oak trees to be covered with flowers.

Giant Burmese Honeysuckle (Lonicera hildebrandiana)
Scarlet Trumpet Honeysuckle (Lonicera brownii ‘Dropmore Scarlet’) is beautiful but has no scent.
