| 1.My first choice would be Stephanotis floribunda. 2.Jasmine (jasminum)many varieties. All can be trained as a vine and are fragrant. 3.Star Jasmine (trachelospermum) Is a fragrant vine. 4. Hoya is good on a trellis. Very slight scent. 5. Honeysuckle (Lonicera) aggressive. Not as neat appearance nor easy to control. 6. Chinese Wisteria (wisteria sinensis) slightly fragrant. Attractive when in bloom. Aggressive. I would plant a couple of different kinds on each post. Good luck |

| Stephanotis, mandevilla, medinilla, gloriosa lily, jade vine, sweet potato, passionflower. All depends on if its in full sun, shade etc. |

| hi! i already plan on using stephanotis for an accompaniment to my potted podocarpus. otherwise, i'd have loved to use it. i heard of a vine climbing ylang-ylang, not a tree. do u think this will be ok? the space will have 1/2 day full sun, 1/2 day partial, & i plan on leaning the gazebo against the house. do u think the ylang-ylang will be too aggressive for this & may even buckle the ground? i would love to have a little variety otherwise. thanks. |

| I like Queen's Wreath, Petrea volubilis. We have one here at Selby Gardens on our gazebo. It's the best wisteria substitute for color but there's no scent. kevin |

| grapes, black pepper vine, passion fruit or air potato vines would give you something to eat eventually. |
