Hardy Climbing Vines 
Vines are an important group of plant material and are used in a variety of ways. They can 
be used as a background for flower borders, to cover fences, to screen unsightly buildings, or to 
provide shade when used over pergolas and arbors. Many of them have attractive flowers and 
fruits, and all are desirable for foliage. They help to make the landscape picture complete.
