I want to plant a hardy, sun-loving, flowering, climbing plant and live in cent. IL. Help with ideas.?

I already have a trellis in place. It was used for a climbing rose bush that died. I would like something that blooms all summer if possible.

morning glories, wysteria, those are both pretty. Sweat Pea's...climbing roses, climatis, moon flowers,





michigan bulb company has a good online source of flowers' and plants
Reply:try the cup a sauser vine or cobae scandens its from costa rica and ive grown it in northern wisc but it will freeze out up here
Reply:You could try Wisteria (quite a spectacular display); scented Jasmine colour of flowers vary from white, yellow, pale pink to dark pink depending on the variety, there's a winter flowering Jasmine as well; Solanum (perennial nightshade - not the deadly nightshade) quite an attractive fast growing climbing shrub with white or blue scented flowers throughout the growing season and if in a sheltered spot will flower for most of the winter as well. We have also tried a creeping bluebell, but with little success. Hope these suggestions help.
