  I need some prolific vines to cover some ugly cement block walls and am wondering if the aforementioned vines would be good for this? Can they be propagated from cuttings? I never see Dutchman's pipe offered in catalogues. Does anyone know where I can get it?

    I planted some Engelmann's two years ago and they have completely scrambled up the side of my house. They look like they should grow from cuttings, but not sure. They produce new plants from around the roots.
