Vines do what no other plant can. They turn a bare fence, a plain wall or an empty arbor into a wall of green and flowers, and they take up almost no ground space doing it. Trailing vines do the same work on the ground, covering slopes and shady spots where grass won’t grow. TN Nursery has grown and shipped plants from McMinnville, Tennessee, since 1959, so every vine you order comes from a family farm rather than a warehouse. Most vines are priced at $7.99.
How to Choose Climbing Vines
- What’s your growing zone? Use the zone filter above. Most of our vines are hardy from zone 4 to zone 9.
- What will it climb? Twining vines like wisteria wrap around posts, wires and arbors. Vines with clinging rootlets or adhesive pads, like trumpet vine and Virginia creeper, climb walls and fences on their own.
- How big will it get? Trumpet vine and wisteria grow heavy, woody stems over many years. Give them a sturdy metal or wood structure, and keep them a few feet from your house’s siding and gutters.
Climbing Vines for Fences, Trellises and Arbors
Trumpet Vine is our best-selling vine. It is a fast-growing native with orange-red tubular flowers all summer that hummingbirds can’t resist. It spreads by suckers, so plant it where you can mow around the base. Virginia Creeper is a native climber that covers fences, walls and tree trunks quickly and turns brilliant red in fall. Wisteria drapes arbors and pergolas with fragrant purple flower clusters in spring. Want a mix? The 15 Trellis Climbing Favorites package is chosen for your zone.
Ground Cover Vines for Slopes and Shade
Trailing vines cover ground that’s hard to mow or plant. Partridge Berry is a slow-spreading native evergreen with red winter berries, ideal for shady woodland beds. Vinca Minor forms a dense evergreen mat with blue spring flowers and holds soil on steep banks. It spreads aggressively and is considered invasive near woodlands in parts of the eastern US, so plant it where it can be contained. Browse more options in ground cover plants .
