what do they call wisteria here?
Glicina is fine. here it?s called Glicinia or Alba.
This plant was very popular in the past, but in these days it?s rarely used, therefore it?s hard to find. We dont use it anymore in gardens. there are many other options for climbing/hanging plants including some similar species like Petra (Petrea volubilis) dark blue/purple or Jazm?n chino (jasminum polyanthum) white. If need some other names of climbing plants that are used here let me know.
Johnny, what's the flowering climbing vine that looks so gorgeous tumbling over tall walls? Something like "trinaria".
We plan to line our front walls with them from the inside, they come in about 6 different colors. Here are a couple of photos of small ones in pots at our house:
And my 90 yr. old suegra with another:

AlterEgo - this one i know! trinitarian or bougainvillea.
Johnny - thanks for the info, it's true wisteria is rare here i've only seen it in the Colonial Zone. Have since heard it can take 7 years to bloom and can be quite destructive so I might give it a miss.
I have a long, north-south running wall I want to cover the west side with climbing plants. So far I've put in chinola and red trinitarian. The jasmine & petra sound good alternatives to the wisteria.
Please go ahead and suggest any other climbers that are easy to source here. Thanks!

Trinitaria is great for defense wall ? thorns that kill, beautiful colors, and uou can plant it by sticking cuttings in the ground. At least 1 out of 3 will grow and within a year or two, even in dry soil, you will have wrist thick trunks and intertangled vines up to 20 feet tall.
She's a feisty one Shalena, full of **** 'n vinegar. She may outlive us all.
Never a dull moment.
And I haven't met any Dominican who can out-cook her, everything she makes is mouthwatering.

How about the jasmine varieties? Have you seen cestrum nocturnum? Looking to cover a pergola
Trachelospermun jasminoides (Jazmin chino) and Cerstrum nocturnum (dama de noche) are 2 different plants. both are very similar and both have a great fragance.
For a pergola I prefer Jazmin, because is more beautiful during daytime.
The local name for those plants are:
Jazmin chino, jazmin estrellado (Trachelospermun j.)
Lipia o Dama de noche (Cestrum n.)

Jazmin
