Silver Lace Vine

[bobauna]

Hi there.

I live in the Okanagan, British Columbia (Pacific Northwest).

I have a 3-5 yr old silver lace vine growing on a trellis in my front yard. The first vine I planted was probably 5 yrs ago, it took a bit to establish, so I then I planted some more a yr or so later... now it is pretty full and healthy - the leaves anyway....

It gets full morning sun and a then filtered sun most of the afternoon (through the trees etc)...

I have never, ever seen one single bloom on it though the leaves are super healthy and it seems to grow more and more every year. :(

Is there anything I can do to get this guy blooming?

Perennial vines can take 3 to 5 years to establish their roots before they bloom. Fertilizing them can casue lots of leaf growth at the expense of flowers.
