Vines
Vines are great plants to grow in the garden. They are relatively low maintenance, twine up trees, walls, fences and other plants in the garden.
Vines are ideal for creating living walls and archways. We have many climbing vine plants that offer color in the spring, summer, and fall. Shop Texas native vines such as Coral Honeysuckle and Tangerine Beauty Crossvine or non-native favorites like Passion Vine and Rangoon Creeper!
Hummingbird Vines

Stop in this week for showstopping vines that hummingbirds love! Our tried-and-true picks, Coral Honeysuckle and Tangerine Beauty Crossvine. They are not only great for hummingbirds but also butterflies and native bees.
Create a living arbor or backdrop with our decorative metal arbors, as well as metal and wooden trellises!
Types of Vines
Climbing vines with small root systems that grow upward usually with the help of supports like near building structures or telephone poles. Because of this, these types of vines can be used on arbors, columns, pergolas, walls, fences, and anywhere else you might need them to grow vertically.
Below are some of our recommendations for climbing vines.
- Carolina Jessamine
- Star Jasmine
- Clematis
Creeping vines will often send out rhizomes (underground stems) that will produce new shoots at the nodes (the point where the leaves meet the stem). Creepers are close cousins of groundcovers, however, they often trail more than they creep.
Try out one of our favorites:
- White-Veined Dutchman’s Pipevine
- Morning Glory
- Ivy
Twining, or wrapping vines, wrap themselves around support structures or grow upward by spiraling along with their support structure.
Twining vines are particularly useful plant choices for home gardeners because they are inexpensive, easy to grow, easy to propagate, come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors, provide ample amounts of vertical interest for any landscape design style, and require no pruning.
These are some of our favorites:
- Hops
- Wisteria
- Honeyscuckle
