WANTED: aggressive but beautiful vines

18 years ago

We put in a large stone deck last year - it is great, but very "stark" - can someone recommend/supply me with fast-growing vines that will "hoist themselves up" a stone facing without hooks or trellises or netting (etc.) - a "non-flowering" vine wouldbe ok, as the last thing we need is bees by the barbeque! I have lots of things to trade, just ask me, or look at my list!

If you'd be interested in some Virginia Creeper, I can take care of you. It's drought tolerant once started. What do you have to trade?

Interested?
