Low Water, Perennial, Flowering Vine? #868959
Asked May 17, 2024, 8:21 PM EDT
Hi there,
I recently planted a Garden In A Box at my home in Longmont. If you’re not familiar, this is a collection of low water perennials including hyssop, penstemon, native primrose, sage, blue gama grass, etc. The garden is next to an unsightly fence that would make a wonderful trellis for a vining plant. I would love to plant something that is a perennial, requires full sun, has similar watering needs and beautiful flowers. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you for all the wonderful work you do!
