Dolchios lablab or Lablab purpurea
Dolchios lablab or Lablab purpurea - Purple Hyacinths are self-sowing
annuals; they prefer full sun but can grown in partial shade and fairly
drought tolerant once established. They sprout easily and grow quickly
reaching 20 feet or more. If you're looking for a vine to cover a fence
look no more. These are fast growing, easy to maintain and beautiful all
summer into fall.

Mascagnia macroptera  -AKA Yellow Butterfly Vine -when you see the amazing greenish,
butterfly-shaped seedpods the plant produces which later turn to brown you will understand.  It attracts
butterflies, too!  This is a fast-growing vine that reaches 10-12 feet high. It produces clusters of
bright-yellow flowers from spring to frost. While many other plants are touted as spring-to-frost bloomers,
this one is the real deal. Evergreen vine that will easily train itself to a trellis or fence. If left unsupported,
this plant will twine on itself to produce a mounding shrub or even a groundcover. This is fairly drought
tolerant but looks much better with regular watering through the dry season.  Well-suited for sites with
western exposures. Grow it against walls, on arbors and against mailboxes and light posts. Another great
attribute is the plant's incredible heat tolerance. It's virtually impervious to the baking sun and well-suited
for west-facing walls and places that receive reflected heat in summer.  It can also grow in partial shade
Hardiness Zone 8, but could survive Zone 7 if planted in a protected spot. A very good candidate as an
annual vine in Northern climates. It could easily reach heights in a few months that could be enjoyed by
homeowners before being killed by winter freezes. Will survive many years in the same pot...so don't worry
if you don't have a yard!  Stick it in a 3-5 gallon pot and give it something to climb.

Mascagnia macroptera
Akebia quinata bears no scent of chocolate for me. But the fruity
fragrant blossoms are incredible just the same. I have taken it into
the mid teens and not had any dieback. And maybe best of all it
seems to be less prone to leaping out from its appointed area at
every opportunity than most.
