Vines

From dainty and petite to larger than life, you can find a native vine that meets your needs. They have a way of bringing color and life to a space. Use caution when planting vines near structures (fences, porches, etc). While some are well-behaved or lightweight, others may require an extremely substantial trellis and can have rather unruly behavior (ahem, Campsis radicans!). Some native vines have edible fruit that is a treat for both people and wildlife. Others can be fatal if consumed or cause mild skin reactions in people who are sensitive to them. When choosing a vine, keep in mind from the beginning that planting “the right plant in the right place” will save you a lot of frustration in the long run! Always do your research.

These native plant guides cover general growing conditions as well as helpful tips and fun facts. All content may be downloaded for free in an effort to help spread native plant awareness.
