Diana, are you the lady who works for a nursery, or some similar business? You know a lot about plants, and I was wondering if I could bother you with a question -

What can I plant that will grow up lattice but is not evasive and produces flowers for much of the summer? It is a full sun area.

Yep. I’ve worked for this company for the past three years:

...and I worked for this company for seven:

Morning Glory (Grandpa Ott’s or Heavenly Blue)
Thunbergia (Black Eyed Susan vine)
Cardinal Climber
Giant Climbing Nasturtium

All can be started from seed. The Morning Glories CAN be invasive, but they’re easy to spot and pull out if they’re where you don’t want them to be. All the others will just act as annual vines and usually won’t reseed themselves.
