I have just cleared an area in front of a 6 foot high by 24 feet long
fence . I am considering purchasing either Wisteria or Virginia
Creepers to grow up the fence.I know the merits of both ie, leaves ,
flowers. My side of the fence is in the shade. Any views which to
purchase ? Also when should I purchase and plant.?
Thanks.
I would go for 2 but go for Parthenocissus henryana instead of Virginia
creeper.. Much nicer on a shaded wall.
Purchase and plant now till about late feb/march. at least while both
of these are dormant. Plant when ground is not frosty and firm in .
mulch well to protect roots from frost
