Evergreen Trellis in Zone 8


Question
Hi Tom,
We want to establish 2 trellis areas.  First will be able to plant in ground next to house (1 foot from wall) while the other will be planted in large pot(s) & placed on 2nd story deck. We live in Zone 8 - Austin, Texas.  Goal is to get a rather thick fast growing evergreen vine.  Would like flowers but don't want to attract too many bees in second area as we will sit near it.
Thinking of Primrose jasmine but heard that may get to giant & bush vs. vine.  All suggestions are appreciated
Thanks!

Answer
Hi Brandi,
Thanx for your question.  I am going to refer you to your local Cooperative Extension Service.  I do some volunteer work with the Kansas State University Cooperative Extension Service here in Wyandotte County (Kansas City), Kansas.  Ihighly recommend them and because your local service is more familiar with your local growing conditions s/he can give you a better answer than I.  The contact information is below.  I hope this helps.
