They are especially useful when you need to divide a narrow space or create a barrier that won't get in the way of foot traffic. Vines represent a good value for your money. These and other fast-growing vines make a young landscape appear full and mature.
Vines turn even the most ordinary fence into a graceful backdrop of flowers and greenery.
And when grown over an arbor, woody vines like wisteria and grape are an attractive way to block views from above into your yard, and at the same time they provide cooling shade. Clinging vines, such as climbing hydrangea and Boston ivy, hold tight with suction cups or little rootlets, making these plants very difficult to remove from their supports. Clingers also have a deserved reputation for damaging the surface they rely upon for support, especially if it's made of wood. And, any dense vine grown directly on a fence interferes with painting and repairs. Once established, vines can be aggressive.
