Fall Blooming Vines for Pollinators
Fall blooming vines that pollinators love. Vines are a great choice for creating vertical interest in the garden. They not only have beautiful blooms, but they serve many purposes. At maturity, vines and climbers create a privacy wall between you and neighboring properties or street traffic. With the help of a fence, trellis, or support structure, vines can create an intimate outdoor space for relaxing and entertaining.
Vines provide a visual barrier and an insulator of noise and traffic. The flowers, foliage, and vines also protect birds and other wildlife from predators.
We selected these particular vines because they bloom into the Fall season. Even more importantly, they provide a nectar source for pollinators such as bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds. This is particularly important for migratory butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds that fly to warmer climates in the Fall.
Arbors, posts, wire fences, and trellises can support these vines. Vines will gracefully meander over these structures and deliver beautiful vertical interest to your garden.
Take a look at these gorgeous Fall blooming vines that pollinators will visit over and over again.
