What vine plants other than grape can be used for forming wreaths?
Wisteria does well. But personally, I would go to a place like Michael's or a craft store for one already made. Ready made has already dried so there is no shrinkage, plus one does not risk a manicure. Maybe I'm lazy but unless you have the vines already growing in your garden, the cost of a ready made, especially if you have a coupon from Michael's or A.C. Moore for 40% is more cost efficient. Plus the stores have different shapes. I have seen some attractive square wreaths, plus hearts for Valentines.

morning glory (very thin, good for small wreath)


kudzu (loooots of that available)

Reply:My favorite is honeysuckle. It is strong, yet easy to work with; it makes light weight, dainty wreaths; availability is good, low to the ground. It grows back quickly if you don't ravage it. In my shop, I use it for garland as well.
