Making a
Case For Trumpet Vine
A trumpet vine is so named because of the beautiful, bright orange
colored, trumpet shaped flowers it is capable of bearing.
This is quite uncanny considering the fact that this kind of vine
is woody. It is predominantly brown most of the time, as its
stems far outnumber its leaves. This distinctive color,
however, is what endears trumpet vine to garden enthusiasts and
home exteriors designers the world over.
Distinctive Shape of
Hummingbird Vine The most amazing feature about the
hummingbird vine (campsis radicans) is undoubtedly its
trumpet-shaped flowers. These fabulously beautiful blossoms
grow so long and so magnificently slender that people can't resist
planting the mother vines by their fences, stonewall, or
trellises. Their mere sight is sure to warrant a second look
from guests and passersby. The flowers are of bright red
color, radiant to anyone who would be able to see them.
Black Eyed Susan Vine
- Perfect For Beginners
Cheerful. Delightful. Colorful. Joyful.
These are words that are commonly used to praise the beauty of the
Black Eyed Susan Vine. This annual (term used for a plant
that bears flowers only once a year) comes in many fascinating
colors: orange, yellow, white and peach, among other hues.
They are so named because of the black area in the middle of each
flower's petal, which provides a stark contrast between the radiant
colors of the flower's edges and the pitch black color of its
center. Such contrast makes this vine even more
enchanting.
Rapid Growth Rate of the Kudzu
Vine Among the many varieties of vines, the Kudzu
vine is probably the most popular vine that is best suited for such
purposes. This vine grows fast - furiously fast - and covers
a large expanse within a year's time. One vine can grow as
much as 70 feet per annum! And given this vine's beautiful
foliage and lovely blooms, trimming is rarely resorted to.
