If you want vines for a sunny garden then you will have a huge selection to choose from. There are vines of all colors, shapes, and sizes that need direct light for at least six to eight hours daily. Vines that flourish in sunny areas may do equally well in wet soil, average moisture or dry conditions

With full sun and variety of moisture tolerances, the vines shown can be strong enough to be fairly self supporting like the Lady Banks Rose, cascading along a fence like the Trumpet Vine or need full support like Japanese Wisteria. The vines can also be grown on trellises and pergolas, around patios and decks, under trees, and directly on walls.

Many vines have lovely fall or Autumn foliage colors, or beautiful fruits or berries. In addition, many of these vines attract birds and butterflies, particularly hummingbirds, to your home garden. You may also be surprised at the diversity in the list of these vines since some can also be used as groundcovers and broadleaf evergreen shrubs.

Some of the vines for sunny climates are native plants which frequently helps the plants be more insect resistant, have more natural disease resistance and salt tolerance. Many of these vines are successfully used in stressful urban settings. Several wonderful native vines that do really well in full sun are Scarlet Clematis and Crossvine. The Scarlet Clematis blooms a long time during the summer, from June or July until Frost. The Crossvine is unusual in its color and bloom time. Typically ranging from brown to red to orange, the burst of color from the blossoms in April is welcome relief to migrating Hummingbirds.
