Color: rich yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers. Blooms: June through 
September. Foliage: dense deep green. Height: runners 10 to 15 
feet long. Plant: 2 to 3 feet apart.

MATRIMONY VINE 
Color: a profusion of small purple flowers. Blooms: May-June. Foliage: rich green. 
Height: 10 to 12-foot runners. Plant: 2 to 3 feet apart. 
It thrives on any soil and in dry places. Its “suckering” habit makes it the ideal ‘“‘binder” 
for steep, rocky slopes by preventing wash-outs. Scarlet and orange berries add to its 
year-around beauty in the fall.
