Vines |
| One
good use of vines is to provide shade from the sunlight. A vine
could be trained to grow around an arbor or trellis and create
a wonderful, natural looking canopy for shade. There are many
types of shade vines, and they have different characteristics.

| Dutchman’s
Pipe is one of the common shade vines. It is best used when
trained to grow up an arbor or trellis and can also cover walls.
This vine has large, heart shaped leaves that are perfect for
a screen from sunlight. This shade vine works best in full sun
to partial shade, and does not require much water. Shade
vines are also used to block sunlight from plants that only
require partial sun. These shade vines are grown up a trellis
or low fence and block the sun from an area of the garden
only part of the day.

| Many
people prefer the natural look of shade vines when covering
a porch or patio. A porch covered in vines is much more rustic
than a porch covered using a canopy or large umbrella. |
