Perennial Flowering Vines
Climbing Flower Vines for the Garden
Many types of perennial flowering vines for sale. Advice for combining vines with flowers with other plants and shrubs in the landscape. Fast growing, fragrant, hardy, and evergreen tropical varieties.
Pink rose vines look especially fetching when grown against a brick wall.
Landscaping with Flowers on Vines
Vines that bloom more than pull their weight in the garden. There is no better plant for hiding an ugly pole, clothing a naked wall, or disguising chain link fencing.
Some flowering vines can even be used as ground cover. A few will bloom in the shade. Many are fragrant.
In addition to all of these valuable attributes, small space gardeners can gain a space advantage by planting a vine.
The average tree or shrub demands a six foot depth of growing space. A perennial flowering vine needs just one.
All the vines listed on this page offer colorful blossoms. I've divided them into categories to help you select the plant that will do the job you want done.
Hardy Garden Vines

Garden Design Tip:
When growing a vine, like Clematis, that either dies back or must be cut back hard each year, the support you train it onto will need to be just as beautiful as the plant.
Consider how much of it will be exposed during winter and spring.

All climbing flower vines need some light in order to bloom. The more light they get, the more flowers they produce. Consequently, the vines listed in this section will bloom more heavily in bright or dappled shade than they will in dense gloom.
I have Gloriosa lilies growing into a small tree beside my back porch and Confederate jasmine blanketing the ground and clambering into the trees in my back yard, so I know from experience that both these perennial flowering vines perform admirably in what I would describe as medium shade.
