Looking for a simple butfast cover-up to screenan old fence or wall, an

unsightly building or a nosyneighbour? Why not make gooduse of some interesting and at-tractive vines.

Most folks plant vines, like clematis andhoneysuckle, for their lovely flowers, but at-tractive, carefree foliage is also something tobe considered.

One of the most unusual and attractive isa delightful kiwi vine that has dappled pinkedges on its leaves all summer long. Theleaves come out green in the early spring,then turn white and, eventually, pink. It hassmall white flowers that can be pollinatedby planting both male and female vines. Itsfruit, which is simply delicious, is very simi-lar to the small grape-like kiwi. Its propername is Actinidia kolomikta.

For fast growing vines that are greatcover-ups on chain fences or unattractivecement walls, try one of the many forms ofVirginia Creeper. Parthenocissus quinque-folia is the traditional large-leafed varietythat turns brilliant red in fall. The so-called‘Boston Ivy’, P. tricuspidata ‘Veitchii, hassmaller and more elegant foliage with allthe same characteristics. Its new growth isa purple red all summer long and this plant

is quite pollution resistant. There are a fewnew varieties now available, like P. henry-ana, that have attractive variegated foliage.Even in winter, the massive network of vinesmakes them effective.

A very classy and elegant vine that isseldom used is a dainty small-leafed akebia.It is a semi-evergreen vine that producesfragrant small purple flowers that are inbloom right now. This Japanese native alsoproduces small, sausage-shaped fruit. It isan effective, fast growing vine that would beuseful almost anywhere.

The vine being promoted in many maga-zines today is the ‘Hummingbird Vine’.In our region it does not bloom until mid-summer, but when it does, its huge orange toscarlet blossoms are really quite something.Its leaves are very lush and fast growing,making it an ideal cover for old stumps,walls or trellises. There are many variet-ies available today, but ask for Campsisradicans or C. tagliabuana ‘Madame Galen’for the bright orange flowers that appeal tohummingbirds. The newest variety, ‘IndianSummer’, has a slightly lighter orangecolour but blooms earlier and longer. It’squite amazing. All campsis need little carebut must have a hot, sunny area for the bestperformance. They can be invasive, so rootpruning is recommended to keep them wellbehaved.

If you want ‘fast’, then one vine I reallyshould mention is the ‘Silver Lace Vine’,

Polygonum aubertii. Often called the Mile-a-Minute Vine, it is among the fastest growing,stretching up to twelve feet per season. Tocover a patio, pole, old fence or anythingunsightly for that matter, it is the best. Ihave run these vines up evergreen trees fora striking effect each summer as the lacywhite blossoms provide a nice contrast. Itis the vine which seems to grow anywhere,with little care.

I once visited a gardener who smothereda rather unattractive old shed wall withseveral varieties of honeysuckle. Not onlydid they look great, but their fragrance alsofilled his entire garden. I was not the onlyadmirer either, as several hummingbirdswere sipping nectar from the long slenderflorets of a variety called ‘Dropmore Scarlet’.My favourite variety is the soft yellow, very

perfumed ‘Halliana’. There is a new variety,called ‘Honey Baby’, that grows only to sixfeet and has yellow perfumed flowers allsummer long. All varieties can suffer frommildew and aphids.

Wisteria also grows quickly and whetherit be the white, pink or blue variety, is notedfor its rapid growth and clean appearance.By the way, the Chinese varieties grow anti-clockwise, while the Japanese varieties growclockwise. The Japanese (floribunda) typestend to bloom far earlier than the Chinese(sinensis) varieties, which often take up toseven years for the first blooms to appear. Myadvice: purchase larger grafted varieties forearlier blooming.

If you have a really shady spot, then theclimbing hydrangea is absolutely the best.‘Hydrangea petiolaris’ is an excellent, lushgreen climber with rounded, heart-shapedleaves. Its large, flat white flower clusterslook absolutely smashing in June. Its newer,more dainty cousin, ‘schizophragma’ comesin both pink and white.

Another somewhat forgotten vine is thePorcelain Vine (Ampelopsis elegans) whichhas dainty white and green foliage that is atrue class act in full sun or partial shade.

Vines are great, easy to grow, colourfuland effective in solving so many landscapeproblems. Take a good look around yourgarden and see if a few vines here and therewouldn’t improve the overall appearance orat least cover up a few of those trouble spots.
