Not much, above, but loads of lushness. And little maintenance. Rich, welcoming. Don't you want to know what the inside looks like? And the garden? Already sense you would like the owner?.
Slow down, dahlings. 3 questions, above, are quite serious. And part of designing your landscape.

Ask those questions of your frontdoor & back patio area.

Color, empty pots, scale, path, axis, light fixture, bell pull, enfilade each play a role too. But I'm only speaking of the vine today. Isn't it amazing how the simplest of garden pictures is, in reality, a full landscape design course?

I am besotted with vines.
ReplyDeleteTara,
ReplyDeleteyou have hit the nail on the head,
CURB APPEAL is so very important.
I have heard if you paint your door red it will sell the house, also it's good luck.
The vine is something I wanted
but the men say it will ruin the siding on the house and destroy the roof.What's your opion?? I want it. love the post.

Yvonne, Oh yes the trinity of men-house-vines. No worries.
ReplyDeleteEspaliered shrubs are perfect. They need no wires, no trellis & are pruned not to touch the house.
Giving the illusion of a vine with even LESS maintenance.
In my zone 8 I like to use Camellia sasanqua as evergreen espalier. And oakleaf hydrangea as deciduous espalier.
XO Tara
Vines are going to be a big part of my space this year.
