Perennial Vines:
Perennial vines
take their time to mature. Be patient! The saying is:
"The first year they sleep, the second year they creep, the third
year they leap." When they leap, they soon cover a trellis or
a wall. Most perennial vines bloom once in spring, but there are
some that bloom for months.

Annual
Vines:
Most annual vines won't cling to a brick or wooden wall, but you can use
such climbing aids as wire fences or trellises to support them.
Once they start, annual vines typically bloom nonstop, and most of them
also flower extravagantly.
