00:01Whether you're short on space, need to add privacy, or hide unsightly views,
00:05take advantage of your vertical space with flowering vines.
00:08Vines are available in a variety of forms, textures, and colors, and many provide an extended bloom time.
00:15Grow hardy vines in the ground with a trellis, fence, or arbor for support.
00:19And easy-to-grow annual vines can be enjoyed for the season in containers on the patio.
00:25Let's take a look at 10 flowering vines with a long season of bloom.
00:30The first and possibly most popular vine on this list is Clematis.
00:34This queen of flowering vines is available in a wide array of flower colors, shapes, and bloom times.
00:40There are some that bloom in spring, and with a quick trim, will re-bloom again mid-summer,
00:45and there are other varieties that put on an extended show from mid-summer to late-summer.
00:50Plant multiple varieties with varying bloom times for an all-summer show.
00:54Number 2 is the Mandevilla.
00:56This heavy flowering vine adds a tropical flare to the patio or landscape.
01:01Grow Mandevilla in the ground or in a decorative container.
01:04Just be sure to install a support structure to grow up on.
01:08Give this vine full sun and regular fertilizer for all summer long blooms.
01:12Mandevilla can be overwintered indoors in cold climates.
01:16Thumburgia, also known as the Black Eyed Susan vine, is next on our list.
01:20This fast-growing, continuously flowering vine is easy to grow from seed,
01:25or commonly available at plant shops in flower shades of yellow, orange, pink, or white.
01:30This tender perennial is usually grown as an annual in colder zones.
01:33Place the vines in full sun with afternoon shade if possible,
01:37while providing a trellis to support the plant.
01:39This plant can easily grow upwards of 5 feet tall or higher in just one growing season,
01:44or allow it to cascade down a hanging basket.
01:46Whether you know it as a Spanish firecracker vine, love vine, or fire plant,
01:52number 4 on our list bears brilliant red blooms maturing to pale yellow,
01:56creating a gradient of color somewhat resembling a firecracker.
02:00Plus, this plant blooms freely from mid to late summer until frost,
02:04attracting pollinators such as bees and hummingbirds.
02:08Fertilize regularly for the best show of blooms.
02:11Number 5, the passionflower vine.
02:14It may look like it's from the tropics, but can actually be grown almost anywhere,
02:18including much colder areas.
02:20Bring the plant indoors to overwinter in any growing zone lower than 6.
02:24The fragrant, unusual, dramatic, almost spider-like flowers bloom all summer long,
02:29and don't stop until the first frost.
02:32Grow this vine in the ground or in a container in full sun to light shade.
02:36For more information on some of the most popular varieties and species of passionflower,
02:41see the link in the description.
02:42The trumpet vine or trumpet creeper is a fast-growing perennial vine
02:46with tubular flowers ranging from yellow to orange to red,
02:49blooming throughout summer into fall.
02:51The flowers are also very attractive to hummingbirds.
02:54Many gardeners consider this plant invasive,
02:56but with adequate care and pruning, this vine can be kept under control.
03:00Be sure to cite this one accordingly.
03:03Number 7, the scarlet runner bean is grown for its pretty red flowers
03:06that bloom all summer long, plus its attractive bean pods.
03:10This vigorous, climbing vine can reach upwards of 20 feet within one growing season.
03:15The flowers are edible and a great addition to salads.
03:18The beans are also edible until they become fibrous.
03:21Unlike regular green beans, this is a perennial species,
03:24although it is usually treated as an annual.
03:26If you're looking for something a little different to grow,
03:29why not consider the snail vine?
03:31This attractive vine is hardy in USDA zones 9 to 11,
03:35but can be grown as an annual in colder regions or brought indoors for the winter.
03:40The lavender and white flowers resemble curly shells
03:42and will thrive in full sun and high humidity.
03:46This vine would also be a great addition to a hanging basket or container,
03:49where it can dangle up to 15 feet if permitted.
03:52In the ninth spot is the hyacinth bean.
03:55This plant will add loads of color and interest to any garden from mid-summer until fall,
04:00with its beautiful pinkish-purple, sweet pea-like flowers,
04:03and interesting glossy purple seed pods.
04:06This vine is a vigorous grower, making it a popular choice
04:09for those that need quick cover on an arbor or fence.
04:13Bougainvillea is last on our list, and while it offers a long summer bloom time,
04:17the typical pink, purple, or orange flowers are actually not flowers at all.
04:21They are leaf brocks that surround the actual tiny white flowers.
04:25It can be grown year-round in zones 9 through 11,
04:28but in colder zones, this plant can be grown on the patio,
04:31bringing it indoors over the winter months.
04:34Place these woody vines in a site that receives full sun.
04:37So, not only do vines come in a wide array of shapes, colors, and bloom times,
04:42they can be incorporated into nearly any garden style or size.
