What other creeping vine can I use besides "creeping fig" plant ? Preferably with small flowers.?

I planted creeping fig to cover a large cinder block wall about 8 years ago. I really liked the way the creeping fig grew nice and tight to the wall.


Is there a similiar vine that grows and blooms small flowers ?


I've seen it at the same nursery I bought the creeping fig. I can't remember what its called.

Reply:try some climbing roses you can get lovely flower variations they need lots of sun though
Reply:There's Jasmine that blooms small white aromatic flowers, though they need help with trailing.

  1. Creeping fig is evil, you are smart to seek alternatives. I've had great luck with Confederate Jasmine. It is very low maintenance, pretty drought tolerant, big green leaves and the flowers smell so fragrant! I've also seen Ivy but those do not have flowers.
