How would Cross Vine and Silver Lace Vine do on the same wall?

I would like to have blooms in the Spring, Summer and Fall, and I understand that the Cross Vine is evergreen and that the Silver Lace Vine is not.





But would it be possible to cut either only the Silver Lace Vine down to the ground at the end of each fall or both the Cross Vine and Silver Lace Vine to maintain control ?





And how would they look and grow together?





Thanks for your answers!

How would Cross Vine and Silver Lace Vine do on the same wall?
As stated in the first answer, both of these vines are too aggressive to grow close to a house (or any other structure), and one would indeed smother the other. They grow so fast that you'd soon be overwhelmed trying to cut them back. I've had cross vine in the yard %26amp; spray it with brushkiller any time I see it!





Planting anything against mortar is generally a bad proposition. Plants with holdfasts (ivy) will destroy the mortar, plants that twine need support. A thick mat of vegetation will hold a great deal of moisture against the brick, in addition to providing a haven for critters.





Suggest you browse garden magazines %26amp; websites for alternate ideas for landscaping against a brick wall.
Reply:They are very aggressive vines, but one will choke out the other most likely, and coppicing (cutting to the ground) would be a very hard undertaking!
Reply:Yes they are very fast growing vines. They will be competing for space and you will have lots of dead limbs and foliage. Lots of maintenance involved.





I suggest using one or the other...of course it's your yard and not mine.
