I'm in zone 10b in Southern California in a hot dry valley it usually never gets below 35 in winter but it can get to 105-110 in the very hottest days of summer with the average being in the high 90's. I am looking for tropical looking vines that are fragrant and can take some heat . I need some for full, shade and some for partial shade.
Please tell me your favorite fragrant tropical vines
The title in the subject is for us to list our most favorite fragrant topical vines. In the message you're mentioning other parameters such as desert heat tolerance.
I'll answer the 1st question: Jasminum sambac with it multivarieties of Maid of Orleans, Grand Duke of Tuscany, Grand Duke Supreme, & Arabian Nights. J. officinale var. affine (semi-double). J. auriculatum called J. molle.
Rangoon creeper has an apple-coconut scent, see if you can find the double. Madhavi vine, Hiptabe bengalensis, flowers only once in the spring, and is jasmine/orange-blossom scented.
If you have partial shade, you might consider something like variegated Stephanotis, or Hoya vine.
Rangoon creeper,Telosma cordata "Chinese Violet, apssion vines & Jasmine (I have a few varieties). Are some of the fragrant ones I grow and that can take the heat.
I also grow clematis, dutchman's pipe,honeysuckle , Akebia quinata,
