I'm a somewhat novice gardener, but vines are my absolute favorite thing to grow, along with coleus and hostas..... I am looking for a FAST growing flowering vine to go up the pergola over our hot tub. The only photo I have is a winter shot, but hopefully it will give y'all an idea of the space I'm dealing with.... The side that I want to plant is the one behind the stairs of the main deck, and it gets morning sun, then increasingly dappled shade to full shade in the late afternoon. It would be great if it could grow tall enough to get into the top bars of the pergola, approx. 12-15 feet. Annual or perennial, either is fine. Does anyone out there have any suggestions for me? I live in the Annapolis, MD area....
