The stars in my September garden are the anemones! A few of the vines you mention would make a nice contrast and addition.

Seriously, I've been battling a grapevine that wants to smother a tree at the back of my property.

I grow both I. quamoclit and I. sloteri, but never thought that they were distinct species ( along with crosses between I. hederifolio ( the Cypress Vine), these plants apparently are all commonly confused – as cardinal creeper, cardinal vine and cypress vine. The difference, as John pointed out in his comment above, is not only the foliage shape, but the blossom size and shape as well. On a packet of annual seeds, one can sometimes barely see the difference. I will say that I prefer the I. quamoclit ( nice name, hugh?) foliage – all ferny and thread like.

Star shapes not pentagons, super thready leaves not just v deeply loped.

Mine took off in late August and The humming birds love it.But today I wonder if I should have built a 12 foot obelisk thing instead of the 8 footer I di. Next year…
