best vine

19 years ago

Hi everyone, just joined and have a question. I just put up a flagpole and built kind of a section of castle to set it off. Inside the wall I planted "YAKU JIMA JAPANESE SILVER GRASS, ZEBRA GRASS AND DEWEY BLUE PANIC GRASS". My question is: I would like to have a climbing vine on the front side of the wall that is rapid in growth. Also I would like to plant flowers around the front to really set the whole experience off. Any suggestions? I can send pictures if it would be easier. Thank you for any help you may be able to give me.

Sorry gunner, did you tell us what sun exposure it gets? That would help. and of course, a photo is always great for getting feedback. There are many knowlegeable poeple who will give great info here. I'm not certain what Zone you are in either.

Thank You enjoy 5 for your response. The wall would have lots of sun, I live in southeast Iowa and I think it is zone 5. I haven't figured out how to do a pic on this site so maybe I could be given instruction. Thanks again!
