12 Vines to Grow in Phoenix Arizona

There are many beautiful vines you can plant and grow in your Phoenix, Arizona garden. Vines are easily incorporated into your overall garden design.

They create a lushness to your landscape, are great for privacy, and for softening all of those block walls. Two of my personal favorites include the lilac vine and the passion fruit vine.

What Type of Vine do You Want to Grow?

Vines can be divided into four main categories. Depending on what your goal is you can choose a vine that best suits that goal.

Twining vines
Tendril vines
Self-climbing Aerial rooted vines or adhesive disks
Shrub no climbing vines

What kind of Support does a Vine Need?

Twining vines that grow in Phoenix include Mexican flame vine, Lady Bank’s rose vine, bougainvillea, jasmine, snail vine, and bower vine. Provide supports such as a trellis, arbor or pole.

Carolina Jessamine, Queen’s Wreath, lilac vine, trumpet vine, passion fruit, and honeysuckle are tendril vines that grow in Phoenix. Their leafless stems will reach out to find something to twist and wrap around. Provide a light support such as wire, twine or chain link fence.
