The following vines are well adapted for use in the High Desert. There are many more water efficient plants carried by local nurseries, or ones you have had good success with that expand your plant choices.

Using the following plants will help save High Desert water resources only if you combine them with thoughtful garden planning and proper watering strategies.

	Campsis radicans, Trumpet Vine, fast growing deciduous vine with 3 inch long orange trumpetlike flowers. A vigorous climber, this plant can be used to cover overhead trellis to which they will cling with aerial rootlets. Can be used as bush or hedge if trimmed.
	Wisteria species, Wisteria, highly adaptable deciduous vine, with fragrant violet-blue flowers. Can be grown as a climbing vine, or with pruning as bushes or small trees. Reasonably drought tolerant, but likes a little extra water during bloom or for fast growth.
