I am looking for ideas for fast growing non toxic annual vines for next summer in my outdoor aviary. Also, any ideas for safe perennial vines hardy to zone 5b.
The idea with the annuals is that they tend to grow faster than the perennials. I can plant either in large pots or in the ground.
Thanks for any info!

Candace, I used to cut honeysuckle and give it to my lovebirds in the aviary. They would crunch the vines and weave it into nests. They loved it and could not wait for me to put it into the flight.

Re: Safe annual and perennial vines for my outdoor aviary
thank you for the suggestions. I have honeysuckle growing at the side of the house. The hummingbirds love it! I'll definitely plant another.
