I am looking for a vine that has yellow flowers, something like black-eyed susan, will someone point me in the right direction? I thought there was a seed packet out there somewhere but so far, I can't find anything. Thanks

several Vines have more yellow with a tinge of say pink, I'm thinking Honeysuckle, also Clematis, several climbing roses are vivid Yellow, just to name 2 / 3., but a garden encyclopedia will be your best bet and you will find one in your local library or book store, good luck. WeeNel.

I've bought seeds for black eyed Susan vine at Wal Mart. They're very easy to grow and look great growing up a trellis.

Hello bubbles1918! We are in the same zone, so I thought I'd share my experience with trying to grow yellow flowering vines. A few years ago I purchased a thunbergia plant (annual black-eyed susan vine) from a local nursery. It did okay, but did not flower until very late in the season. This was fine, but I was a bit disappointed because the previous year, I had been given a very lush, freely flowering vine in a lovely pot for Mother's Day that flowered all season long. So, I was a bit impatient waiting for the small plant that I'd bought to flower. I really didn't want to shell out the money for the "ready made", already flowering version from the greenhouse, so the following year I bought thunbergia seeds and started them inside in the spring (I can't remember if I started them in Feb. or March) thinking they would bloom earlier. They too, did okay, but still did not flower until really late in the season. Last year I gave up on growing the black-eyed susan vine and purchased a trumpet vine (perennial) that is supposed to flower yellow. It did not flower last year though I had gotten it in the ground very early in the season. I am hoping it will bloom this season. I have spoken with a fellow gardener in the area who has had one for five years now and has yet to see a flower. I have a yellow climbing rose on order to fill the spot, but I will have to provide winter protection because I am in zone 4b. There is a yellow 'clematis serratifolia' that is said to grow to zone 4 that perhaps you could look into. I think it has a center that is a burgundy or brownish green if I remember correctly. I don't know the light requirements for that one though. If it's full sun, it may be my next try if I can't get anything else to take off. Good Luck, and let me know what you can get to grow.
