About Vines
A vine is a weak-stemmed plant that derives support from climbing, twining, or creeping along a surface. There are many different varieties of vine, and vines serve many purposes in landscaping. Vines are excellent for providing a fast screen. They will give height to a landscape while needing little ground space and are therefore useful in small gardens.

Selecting a suitable vine depends on its intended use, location, soil adaptability and type of support. Vines with dense foliage and rapid growth are extremely suitable for screening purposes. Vines with fragrant flowers can be planted near windows, porches and patios to add a wonderful aroma.

Tall growing vines such as grape or wisteria are excellent for use on a large arbor to give shade, while a vine for decorating a mailbox support should be much smaller in ultimate size. Deciduous vines will give shade in summertime, while allowing light through in wintertime when they are bare.

Vines can grow in all types of climates. Different types of vines also require different amounts of sunlight and for growing. No matter what climate zone you live in, there is a vine that will flourish.
