A wonderful choice for summer and fall color is the Silver Lace Vine.  This hardy, drought tolerant vine can grow at a very rapid pace.  It’s small abundant flowers are white, but give off a silver glow when glistening in the sun.

Canyon Grape vine is a great option because its growing season is quite long. Normally it’s found near streams, canyons and springs. Its natural elevation spans between 2,000 and 7,000 feet. Generally you cannot see the flowers, they’re inconspicuous. This vine needs part and full sun. Though it is not as heavy of a water user as the clematis this vine does really, really well in Sedona, but it can make a nice showing in Flagstaff.  The grapes will be much smaller than what you find in the store, and will be extra sweet because you have watched them grow over the year.
