The Best Vine for a Small Patio Arbor

Sun-Lover

• If you are looking for a vine that grows quickly and loves the sun, the best choice for your patio is the white jasmine. This white flowering vine will bloom throughout the spring with fragrant flowers and requires only pruning and thinning late in the season.

Drought-Tolerant

• For homes that are located in arid climates with a tendency toward drought conditions, the best arbor vine is the trumpet creeper. This hardy vine is both drought- and heat-tolerant, and blooms all summer long.

Shade-Lover

• If your arbor is located in a shady part of your garden, your best choice is the shade-loving honeysuckle vine. This vine features fragrant orange blooms, attracts hummingbirds and grows easily around an arbor. Be sure to purchase the honeysuckle vine and not the shrub when selecting the plant.
