My new garden this spring I put in an Arbor ,so I needed something on it and bought Two Silk Lace Vines thought I would be wise to get a report on them anyone that has or has had one.
Silk Lace vine
Never heard of it - what does it look like?
I never heard of them either.
Do you mean silver lace vine??
Yes Victor Silver lace Vine it is these senior moments make a dunce of me. It has small white flowers and is a fast grower,supposedly up to 20 feet first year.
Never grew it, but I understand it's pretty aggressive. Good luck with it.
Thanks Victor,that is what I suspected but I am a good man to have such a plant being a lifelong dogman I deal with alot of agression.In two weeks with next to no sun and not very good soil one of the two has grown 21/2 feet the other is right behind,should have my new arbor covered before July 4th!

I just saw SilverLace Vine at a nursery today and was thinking about it too. I checked Plant Files and several people have it - they called it a vigorous and fast grower, but no one called it invasive. Soooo, I posted on the invasive plant forum, but I don't think it gets a lot of activity. I decided to come over here and ask (I know there is activity here). I spotted your thread. I'm thinking of buying it and putting in a very large buried container. I would be interested in your progress reports.

Dathen,
I wouldn't be afraid of it especially the way you plan to handle it .I am keen on action plants want to enjoy them before I kick the bucket.

LOL!! I hear you.
Well I can see with a bit more time this isn't for me I will use it this summer but come fall remove it and put clematis there.This stuff brings a new meaning to agressive.
wimp -what happened too "being a lifelong dogman I deal with alot of agression" :)

I want to see what i looks like gamekeeper. Any pics?
Be glad to pot it up and send it along,just don't need any more chores keeping it corraled.
