Hardy Vines and Ground Covers 
VANES provide the finishing touch of any planting. Some adhere to masonry, some must be 
trained through lattice or trellis, and others, with their tendrils, will cling anywhere tenaciously, 
unshaken by wind or weather. Visualize the effect desired and train them accordingly, to cover 
your walls and pilasters, your lattice or trellis, the pergola or laundry posts, the porch or portico, 
veranda, or fence.
