WISTERIA 
Vines should be considered in all plantings, some for their foliage 
and others for their exquisite bloom. There are vines that will 
cling to masonry and wood without any additional support such as 
Parthenocissus, Ficus and English Ivy. Others are dependent on trellis 
work on which they will naturally twine — Cissus, Honeysuckle, 
Bignonia and many others. They are extremely valuable to add 
interest to blank walls, to provide shade on arbors and summer 
houses, and to cover fences and walls. Many have useful and 
colorful bloom. All are hardy unless indicated.
