18 Valuable Vines

Looking for a plant to enjoy in the evening after a hard day's work? Take a look at moonvine (Ipomoea alba). This vigorous twining vine--a cousin of the morning glory--provides enchantment on a late-summer evening when its five- to six-inch, trumpet-shaped flowers open. Fragrant, creamy-white blooms open up in the early evening hours, ready to greet the weary after work. Plant in full sun to partial shade. Train up a trellis or fence; grows 10 to 15 feet. Use moonvine to create your moon garden. USDA Zones 8 to 11.
