looking for a short vine

19 years ago

Hello everyone,

I'm in zone 8 (DFW, Texas) and I'm looking for a short vine, preferably flowering, with maximum height 5 ft. or so. The area does gets some morning sun, then shade, and then full blast Texas sun from 2:30 pm to 5 pm, which is my main point of concern.

I had been looking at the morning glory "cameo elegance" but was unsure about it handling the Texas summer heat. I have a series of three short teepees as support for the vines, and could either plant the vine separately around them, or connect the teepees with a wire and let the vine trail on it. In any case, the teepees will probably not handle a very heavy vine, hence my search for a shorter one.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!

Thanks,

Anchita
