My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

vining plant for container in full sun?

16 years ago

I had the idea of growing a vining plant down the side of a large container that will also have melons to help shade the container a little. The container is on my patio in full sun (south/east facing, so all day/afternoon sun)...

Are there any vining flower varieties that will tolerate the heat, that aren't too tall/long? TIA!
