Help me pick a flowering vine for my pergola!

Posted by plumeriafl 9b Florida (My Page) on

Would mandevilla "Alice du Pont" be a good choice? I want it to grow up and over a 9-foot pergola.

How about jasmine (I have no idea which)?

This is for a sunny location, zone 9b, and I definitely want something with flowers.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I just planted Crossvines ("Tangerine Beauty") and they're pretty and quick-growing. I've also grown confederate jasmine, which is nice. Not as showy as the Crossvines, but smells nice in the summer.

Hmm, not familiar with crossvines. I don't know if I've seen them at local nurseries. Sounds interesting. Thanks for the tip.
