The perennials I have in zone 5 are: clematis (varies in pinks, purples, reds %26amp; white) blooms in early summer and trumpet vine,orange-red bloom( some call this the hummingbird vine), Sweet Peas and there is Honeysuckle also, smells great, but attracts lots of bees.These blooms through summer.There is also annuals which are pretty and easy to grow, Cardinal vine (these are agressive growers)and a ornamental bean vine- Hyacinth Bean with purple flowers and purple bean pods, you can save seeds from these to plant again next year. Hope this helped you some. You can go to www. GardenGuide.com and go to vines, there are lots of vines I didn't mention on there.
Reply:Red Bellied Piranhas (Serrasalmus nattereri) are feared by many to be the most aggressive of all freshwater fish. In the wild they are very vicious, but are not found to be so devastating in a aquarium. I'd like something that flowers to go with my rose vines. it will be growing on a chain link fence

Reply:Clematis is beautiful, also honeysuckle. I don't recommend trumpet vine, it is overly vigorous and spreads everywhere, impossible to kill. Even had it come under my grandmother's home and come up through the floor furnace.
Reply:Clematis is good companion for rose vines. But you need to pay attention to the hardiness zone cause alot of different Clematis plants right now and they have different hardiness zones. Some are hardy to zone 3 but some only hardy to zone 7.
Reply:I love the Trumpet Vine; it has long beautiful trumpet shaped flowers and wonderful foliage; but am not sure about zone 5

contact high country gardener or another reputable catalog service they should know.
Reply:Check out michiganbulb.com They are a catalog but have ptotos and all info on all plants.
Reply:angel trumpet vine or honeysuckle vine love hot full sun and will go bonkers on a chain link fence if they are in good soil.
Reply:Potato vine has green foliage and beautiful white flowers. Otherwise clematis or jasmine.
