Is is possible to grow vines (wisteria) up an aluminum pergola in the South. Will the heat kill the vines?

We live in Charlotte, NC. The summers are hot - at times 100 degrees.

Yes, Wisteria loves sunshine!





MAYBE the aluminum would get too hot but I doubt it. Personally, I think vines grow best on wood because they can cling to it better.
Reply:I wood use wood and plant in part shade where it gets only 6 hours of sun in the morning. Check your nursery and see if there are any new varieties that can take that kind of heat. They have new vines that are not as delicate as some .
