Climber for VERY dry location
I have a bed in the rain shadow of the eaves, but where a plant can
run its roots sideways a couple of feet to where there is ample
water. Currently, I grow Clematis cirrhosa, Passiflora incarnata
and Cyclamen coum (which love it!) It faces north-east.
The C. cirrhosa doesn't flower much, and is becoming a nuisance,
so I would like to replace it by something with a maximum height
of 10-20'. There are wires for the first 10', so self-clinging
is not required. Either evergreen or flowers.
But the key is that it must be happy with NO direct rainfall!
And, of course, take moderate frosts (hard by West Country
standards, mild by Highlands ones).
Regards,
Nick Maclaren.
