Vines
Vine Culture: Most vines grow and bloom best in sun or mostly sun. All do their best with moist but well drained soil. Other then the initial establishment phase, nitrogen fertilizer is typically best avoided with most vines as it encourages lush rampant growth at the expense of the flowers. Some vines may take several years to bloom. Campsis, Climbing Hydrangea and Wisteria are examples. In the wild, when these vines reach a treetop and have nowhere else to go but sideways, the flowering hormones are then produced. By pruning back vigorous upward top growth regularly and training on a horizontal support, flowering can occur earlier.
