PLANT CATALOG
Bleeding Heart is a low-growing perennial that grows naturally in forest floors, rocky woods, and ledges.
Thunbergia grandiflora - The Blue Sky Vine is an exceptionally popular tropical vine that is easy, reliable, has excellent flower power, and can be grown as a die-back perennial in zones 8-9 if established early in the growing season. It may remain evergreen in warm frost-free tropical climates where it can flower nearly year-round.
The Blue Sky Vine is a heat and sun-loving twining vine suitable for metal fences, smaller arbors, and medium to large trellises or other sturdy supports. Provide a well-drained, moderately fertile soil. The Blue Sky Vine can also be enjoyed as an easy and low-maintenance container plant.
Bridal wreath spirea is a medium-sized, fast-growing deciduous shrub with an upright arching habit featuring cascading waterfalls of white double flowers. The flowers are followed by 1- to 3-inch-long oval green leaves, which transition to attractive yellow-orange or purplish-brown hues in the fall.
Bridal wreath spirea grows best in full sun, well-draining loamy or acidic soils, withstanding wintery weather and summer temperatures.
Mascagnia macroptera - This heat-loving evergreen vine produces a late spring display, with eye-catching clusters of bright yellow, orchid-shaped flowers against dark green foliage. Often blooms again in the fall. Seed pods have a papery butterfly-like appearance, giving this vine its name. Use on a trellis or as a mounding shrub or sprawling ground cover.
Fast-growing vine that reaches 10-12 feet high. It produces clusters of bright yellow flowers from spring to frost. While many other plants are touted as spring-to-frost bloomers, this one is the real deal.
Gelsemium sempervirens - Carolina jessamine is one of the most beautiful vines of the South. It covers fences and trees in open woodlands and along roadsides throughout the Southeast with its slender vines and bright yellow flowers.
Carolina jessamine is easy to grow. It is attractive on an arbor where the slender branches hung with yellow flowers can be seen from below. This plant will stay in scale and can be used on decks or porches and near patios and entryways. It is good in containers and as a ground cover along steep banks to help control erosion.
All parts of this plant are very poisonous. The sap may cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals. Children can be poisoned by sucking the nectar from the flowers.
Trachelospermum jasminoides - Confederate Jasmine is a moderate growing vine known for its fragrant blooms. It will grow in full sun to heavy shade, offering more blooms with more sun. It is drought tolerant once established, though benefits from extra waterings. It blooms with white, sweet-smelling flowers in Spring, and has attractive dark green foliage the rest of the year.
Aristolochia durior - Dutchman’s pipe is a vigorous twining vine that serves as a food source for the pipevine swallowtail butterfly and its caterpillars.
A vigorous grower, it can reach heights of up to 20 or 30 feet tall once mature. Pipe vines are best planted in early spring and, while the plants typically bloom in early summer, the foliage of the vine is its best feature.
Mandevilla spp. - Elevate color in your landscape this summer by growing a mandevilla vine up a trellis, pergola, or arbor, or even over a mailbox.
While other plants melt in Florida’s hot summers, mandevilla is a tropical vine that almost seems to smile at the heat, putting out colorful trumpet-shaped blooms along its woody, twining stems.
These vines are evergreen in tropical areas but will die back if exposed to freezing temperatures. Because of this, gardeners in colder parts of Florida might want to grow mandevilla in containers that can be brought inside during winter
Senecio confusus - This twining, evergreen sprawling vine has 4 inch long, coarsely toothed, dark green leaves and terminal clusters of orange-red, one-inch, daisy-like flowers with golden centers.
Although it appears throughout the year, peak periods of bloom are spring and summer. The quick growth of Mexican flame vine is ideal to add interest to palm trunks, to soften fences, or to veil a trellis.
Passiflora incarnata - Passionfruit vines are not for the faint of heart. These are vigorous plants that will climb to the treetops and explode in colorful blossoms and plentiful fruit. Even though they’re easy to grow, these plants need lots of water, nutrients, and pruning.
Passion vines are fast growers and will need about 200 square feet of trellis, arbor, or fence to climb on.
Campsis radicans - A high-climbing, aggressively colonizing woody vine to 35 ft., climbing or scrambling over everything in its path by aerial rootlets.
Its rapid colonization by suckers and layering makes it useful for erosion control, however, and its magnificent flowers never fail to attract Ruby-throated Hummingbirds within its range.
