Vines

Vines can add a new dimension to the Florida garden. Many are grown for their beautiful color, including the well-known bougainvillea, while others are appreciated for their lush foliage, such as English ivy. There are suitable vines for both the heat of South Florida and the cooler winters of North Florida.
