Jazz, they can deffinatley cover an arbor buy the end of summer and will completely be loaded with blooms. They do need the heat to get going. I am posting a pic of the ones I had back in 2004. I placed them on the arbor in late june they weren't much higher than maybe a couple of feet and by mid august you can really see a show. The arbor they are on is one of those common inexpensive green metal ones. Not to mention that the spot this arbor is in only get part sun. There is a huge black walnut tree that shades this bed part of the day. Coinsidently I am heading out today to buy replacements since I lost mine the winter of 2004 from neglect indoors. I am finally getting around to it. They will be placed in full sun this year and I look forward to seeing the show.
