I have used many differentvines to grow on the wirefences 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 thetemperature got down to 30 degrees.
Silvervein Creeper (Parthenocissus henryana) has pink to red fall color.
Vitis ‘Roger’s Red’
White Fiveleaf Akebia (Akebia quinata ‘Shirobana’ ) has white flowers.Fruitisedible.
Fiveleaf Akebia (Akebia quinata ) – This is the plant that is used to make cane furniture. Fruitisedible.

Chinese Wisteria (Wisteria sinensis)
Japanese Wisteria (Wisteria floribunda) This plant is planted at the base on an Oak tree 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.
