Can someone tell me the best trellis plant for direct sun?

I placed a trellis in my flower-bed and planted a Mandevilla to climb on it.The Mandevilla died in a few days I believe from the sun,but that plant said it was for full sun.I now have an empty trellis and not sure what to plant to climb on it.

Try a honeysuckle vine it takes a year to really grow but well worth the scent it also will draw hummingbirds. Clematis vines there are differant types do a little research as to what you want like blooms once or two times a season, double blooms etc. Ive also had good luck with climbing roses again do a little research so you can pick the qualities you are looking for as well as climate, lenghth of season lows and highs in temps. Its all great fun Good Luck
Reply:We planted a star jasmine and it did great in full sun...and we live in California where it's really hot!
Reply:I love a hops plant they fill out wonderfully and grow really fast! Then for a bit of color I will plant an annual black eyed susan vine into it each year and you get the cheerful blossoms in the full green of the hops.
Reply:You can try annual vines like Sweet Peas or Morning Glories. You can also plant a Clematis or Climbing Rose. Before planting any of these, add organic matter like compost or well-rotted manure.
Reply:sunflower will do best.

You want a big(!) something that is low maintenance? Try trumpet vine.


smaller but easier to grow than some? Try clematis


there are a few thousand choices depending on the spot, sun, soil, and zone... try out gardenweb.com 's hortiplex they are a plethora of useful info!
Reply:Mandevilla needs full sun...so maybe it needed more water? I have two types of Jasmine, and they rock %26amp; roll in the full sunlight. Climbing rose bushes %26amp; Honeysuckle does well too.
Reply:All good advice so far...I would add Bouganvillea to that list. But more importantly, make sure that the pH and friability of your soil is right for the particular plant that you finally choose.
Reply:The "best" plant for your garden is a personal choice, but factors such as the local climate play an important part in whether the plant thrives or dies.





All that being said, I'd recommend a kiwi if you're in a warmer area or a clematis for colder zones. Anywhere in-between is a good place for a climbing rose (e.g. "Joseph's Coat").
