Low maintainence suggestions please!
What is a good creeper plant for the arbor? I'd ideally like to get flowering plants.?
Morning glory is very easy to start from seed and very hardy. Honeysuckle is my favorite for the fragrance, though.
Reply:Jasmine is the best.
Reply:Yellow Trumphet Vine word of caution
It will grow VERY fast and it grows shoots. It will take over, but, it is beautiful ! I cut mine back about 1/2 every winter ....it grows so fast.

Eye-catching blooms and dark foliage are perfect for climbing fences and walls. Trumpet Vines also attracts hummingbirds!
Fast growing and easy to grow! Provides a nonstop display of trumpet-shaped flowers from midsummer to frost. Yellow trumpet Vine makes an effective screen or accent for walls and fence lines. Also makes an excellent groundcover. Can grow 20-30' if given sturdy support. Thrives in average, well-drained soil.
Reply:I've got a couple and I have star jasmine (wonderful smell), armandii clematis (very early flowering, with lovely smell). and a climbing rose.
The climbing rose is probably the most high maintenance, because you do need to tie it in, but in my opinion, it is worth it. I have two - Gertrude Jekyll and Queen Marguerita. Both beautiful roses.
Look through the website for David Austen roses if you're interested.
Reply:Try Jasmine, Clematis, or mandevilla, if you want flowers.
Reply:Morning Glorys
They are beautiful!!
Reply:"Purple Snail Vine". It almost looks like a sweat pea. If beautiful. But the one I have does have a tendency to get aphids on the flowers; on the bight side, I know have a hole bunch of neat lady bugs.
Reply:A type of jasmine
Reply:mandevilla is beautiful,it grows very fast and has large blooms,low maintaince but will need to be cut back yearly
Reply:You didn't say where you live and that will make a difference. 'but even if you live in a cold climate the morning glory [annual] is really nice and honeysuckle [perennial] is very beautiful and fragrant.
