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.

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.
