Suggestion for a fragrant, everblooming, large bloomed vine in 9b

20 years ago

I have some purple Passion Flower, Moon Flowers, and MG's, but I have room for 1 more. Maybe Solandra? I saw a variegated one that was kool, but no source for it. Anything else you can think of?

    What about a climbing rose of some sort?

    There must be someone in FL who grows flowering vines?? Thanks for the suggestion, I will look into what roses are available inmy area.

    Anyone from FL out there?

    I planted a whole 8' row of MG,s an another of Moon Flower, and they have sprouted and doing well. I still need to fill up another 8' section with something different.

    Hmmm, fragrant, everblooming, AND large? That's a tall order! ;>)

    Solandra blooms mainly in the fall, I believe.

    How about aristolochia gigantea, which is supposed to have a lemon scent?

    Or you could try mingling a small, fragrant climber like a jasmine with a large, showy, non-fragrant climber like a trumpet vine. Just a thought.
