They'll grow easily enough over a garden gate arch. I've had them grow up into an orange honeysuckle bush and onto a neighboring tree - give or take a good 18 feet off the ground.

Give them something to twine around and they'll go for it. Sometimes you might have to guide the tendrils the way you want them to go.

The Long Tailed Skipper (Urbanus proteus) is one of my favorites. That iridescent turquoise is spectacular in the sunlight :o) It uses the Blue Pea Vine as well as other garden beans and Scarlet Runner.
