Need some advice on some vines...& groundcovers

[shep]

I always wanted to get a trumpet vine & passion flower..
Are these hard to grow? Should I put them next to a tree & train them to climb it, get a trellis or what? Also, where is a goodplace to order them from?
I was checking the reviews from some online places & the ratings made me go.. ...

Need a good groundcover also..besides phlox of course...
Had Sedum in mind...

Thanx

Whenever I had seen passion fruit growing here, it was always on fences.

Trumpet vine is really easy to grow. I have a yellow one and I can't kill it! They need some very strong support though. I never fertilize it or do anything special and it gets loads of flowers.

Thanks for the words of wisdom...Now I need to wait til all the goodies come in before I start ordering more..

re ground cover...try some Pachysandra, its leaves are just beautiful and it looks lovely in a large open area or even under some evergreens.
