Fast Growing Flowering Vines

Vines are known for climbing and wrapping around trellises and other yard ornaments. They are frequently used for covering and hiding areas. Many vines are used for coverage due to their beautiful and colorful blooms. Some vines grow slowly and take several seasons to reach full lengths and spread. However, others are fast growing and reach long lengths during their first season of growth.

The Porcelain berry (Ampelopsis) is a fast-pace growing vine that can reach 15 feet within one growing season. It grows best in full sun and with good soil. The vine needs a trellis or support to wrap and twist. The vine is started by seed or cutting. Although it does flower, most people choose the vine because of its fruit. In the fall the vine produces porcelain blue berries.

The silver lace vine is considered to be one of the fastest-growing vines found in a garden. This vine can grow up to 20 feet in one single growing season, even after being cut down to the ground in the fall. The vine is covered in little white flowers that often appear to have a green tint. The abundant amount of flowers gives off a light fragrance. This vine needs support to grow and wind around. It likes to be in the sun. The silver lace vine should not be planted near other vines or plants that it can smother. It can easily be transplanted and is often a favorite of Japanese beetles.

Its heart-shaped leaf identifies the fast growing Dutchman's pipe vine. The vine can reach 20 feet or more in height. Not only is this vine long, it is also wide. It is a good vine to use for covering large areas like the sides of buildings or porches. It needs a support system for growing. The Dutchman's pipe blooms flowers in groups of two in the later spring or early summer. The flowers are not known for their sweet smell. They attract bugs with their rotting aroma and trap them once they enter the blossom.
