I need a hearty vine plant for a full sun hot climate?

I live in Bend, OR and it gets very hot during the day (90+) and quite cool at night (35-45) during the summer. The climate during the Spring and Fall is more around the 50-70's during the day and it could drop down to 10-30 at night. Of course in the winter its below freezing for the majority. Is there any sort of vine plant that can withstand this kind of temperature torture? I'm looking to go around my outside deck with something lovely. Thanks for any suggestions!

How about a Trumpet Vine, specifically "Balboa Sunset" (campsis radicans 'Moubal') This is a very hardy flowering vine and a vigorous grower up to 25' or more! It's easily trained on a fence, wall, trellis, or in your case, along the outside of the decking. The trumpet vine has tubular, 3 to 4 inch dark red flowers in clusters of 6 to 12, creates a dramatic show and is a "hummingbird" magnet. Flowering time is late spring through fall. It likes to be in full sun.



USDA cold hardiness zones are 4 - 11, so you will have no problem in the high desert community of Bend, Oregon growing this vine. It can withstand temperatures down to -20 to -30 degrees and still come up growing in the spring. I must warn you it is sometimes very invasive so it will need to be pruned back annually to keep it in check. It's a very beautiful flowering vine once it gets established, which isn't very long at all. Hope this helps you out.

Reply:Your very welcome! Once it gets established and blooming, you'll have hummers coming all the way from Redmond, Prineville and Sisters, just to sample the nectar! ..good luck. Report It
Reply:If your deck area can withstand the vigor of a wisteria (say, on a strong pergola?) that would be a lovely choice in your zone 8 climate. But, just make sure, you want to undertake the pruning it requires annually.
Reply:I was looking for a hardy vine yet not so expensive; something that gives a good screen against prying neighbors' eyes. It hardly needs care but can be beautiful. I got a 1' pot of VIRGINIA CREEPER, which is fast growing and the leaves turn red in the fall. I am in Toronto, Canada so we have incredibly hot and humid summers and famously infamous winters. It cost me about $15. It grows everywhere from forests to exterior house walls---it has been said that it never met a wall it didn't like, and can be invasive so probably it has to be pruned. I just planted it on the front fence about 3 months ago, still small but climbing and will probably get a fuller foliage next summer.

What varieties that seem to work for me and some of my neighbors are Virgina Creeper, English Ivy, Honeysuckle, Wisteria (I highly recommend this one for something lovely), Sweet Pea, climbing roses, and Trumpet Vine.
Reply:watermelon are easy just grow them in dirt from the fresh fruit is less expensive and tomatoes are effort scrape seeds from fresh fruit place in jar fill with water shake till pulp is off seeds seed that float to the top will not grow! the ones that stay at the bottom will! And remember it will grow a astonishing plant they both love full sun. Wet them! Since tomatoes dont like the roots disturbed go on youtube.com and search for "make pots from newspape" very resourceful by time winter comes they'll just be bearing fuit but it will turn too cold put in house unde rfluorescentlights or eat fried green tomatoes and cant eat the watermelon cause it not ripe do like me save some seeds for next year! plant 2 weeks after the last frost do the newspaper pot thing and u willl get wonderful crop and honey im stuck in the same boat as you im in brooklyn ny i have the same tempatures as u! we stuck in the same boat but do like i told u and youll thank me! and the newspaper pots are the best idea in the world and how you water them like he tells u is cool and they really work!
