The growth habit of vines is all about reaching for the sun.  In a nursery situation, where each plant has limited space, vines have to be trimmed regularly, hopefully before they all grow together into one super-vine.

For this reason, our collection of magnificent vines has been carefully honed over the years as ones that are hardy but not overly aggressive in either our nursery or your landscaping.

 


 

Pineland Jacquemontia  Jacquemontia curtisii

 

 


 

Wild Allamanda  Pentalinon luteum

 

 


 

Variegated Chalice Vine  Solandra maxima variegata

Tough, spreading, sprawling, crawling vine. Can be trained to fit into a variety of full/partial sun locations, such as along a chain link fence, up a trellis, or over an arbor. 

To achieve a startling effect, blend this with a subdued grouping of tropical plants, and just let it run wild

.

 
   

 

 


 

Costa Rican Potato Vine  Solanum wendlandii  

Lavender flowers most of the year.  Does best when allowed to scramble around on top of an arbor, the more sun the better.

 

 


 

Queen's Wreath  Petrea volubilis

This dazzler is a fast-climber that can be used on a trellis or trained up the trunk of a canopy tree. 

 


 

Rubber Vine  Cryptostegia madagascariensis

Tough, and beautiful.  It is best used in full sun.  Can be trimmed to fit a variety of locations, such as a small specimen tree, on a trellis or an arbor.  The more sun it gets, the less adventurous it will be, and the less likely to reach out and snake people around the neck as they pass by.
