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.
