What are the perennial flowering vines that can be kept in pots? And in the garden? It is interesting to know their names, since that way we can know more about them. And it is that these plants are an ideal option to cover pergolas, latticework or walls, thereby making the place look prettier, greener and more welcoming.
Also, you should know that there are several species that meet these two characteristics, that is, they are evergreen and produce beautiful flowers, so it may be a bit difficult for you to decide on just one: they are all beautiful!
Perennial Flowering Vines for Pots
If you don't have a garden, and/or if you want to have some in a pot, what better way than to choose one of the five that we are going to show you below:
Lamps (Aristolochia elegans)
The climber known by the name of lamps or footlights, is a perennial herbaceous plant that reaches a height of 10 meters. Its stems are thin, and green heart-shaped leaves sprout from them. The flowers are purple with white veins, and are about 10 centimeters wide.. These appear from spring to autumn. It does not support the cold, only up to 5ºC, so if it does in your area, you will have to protect it, for example, by putting it indoors.
dipladenia (Mandevilla sanderi)
Dipladenia is an evergreen climber that reaches a height of approximately 6 meters. It has green leaves, and blooms in summer, producing pink, red, or yellow flowers. Its growth rate is quite fast, but keep in mind that it is very sensitive to cold, so if the temperature drops below 10ºC in your area, you will have to protect it indoors.

Morning gloryIpomoea violacea)
The plant known as morning glory It is a fast-growing herbaceous climber that reaches a height of 4 meters. It produces numerous flowers about 4 centimeters wide, lilac-bluish in summer.. The problem is that it does not tolerate much cold, which is why in temperate regions it is usually grown as an annual; however, when it is in an area where the winters are mild, with frosts but very weak (down to -2ºC) and punctual, it suffers but it regrows strongly in spring.
