We live in a hot climate (hardiness zone 14) and want a vine to quickly cover our arbor. We started a trumpet vine but want to add another.

I nbelieve it's exactly that a"Red trumpet Vine" or Trumpet creeper; Trumpet vine.
Reply:You have a lot of options since it doesn't freeze in your area.


Some to consider: Mandevilla, Morning glories and cypress vine, cross vine, and passionflower.


Bougainvillea and roses will require you to train them to an arbor or post, etc. They also have the drawback of being thorny, except for a few varieties of roses. Bougainvillea is tough and will withstand drought, full sun and poor soil, but it is very thorny.


Good luck and have fun!
Reply:Dude, this the only plant you'll need to cover the arbor and then some. A trumpet vine is very quick growing, and will take over the immediate area where it is planted. You may wish you had planted something a little more mellow in a couple of years... Good luck!

Reply:Add a yellow trumpet vine for another color splash. You can also add Mandevilla that comes in a variety of colors that arent as fast growing, but an absolutely beautiful plant--tropical looking. I also like the Passion plant that is purple in color and also beautiful.
