(Own work) [CC BY-SA 3.0], via Wikimedia Commons | 9 of the Best Flowering Vines for Shade | When I needed to hide my neighbor's shed from view in my shady garden, I had a tough time finding flowering vines for shade that were non-invasive. This list of perennial shade vines has some really pretty plants that won't take over your yard.

The kiwi vine has small white flowers in the spring but that’s not why most people grow it. In light shade, it produces leaves that are a spectacular pink, white and green combination.

It comes in a female and male version (you’ll need both if you actually want to grow fruit). For the best colors, try to get a male plant since it tends to have better variegation on the leaves than the females.
