The message
from zippo4 contains these words:
Can anyone suggest a good mixture of climbing plants and or border
shrubs (I think I've got those terms correct??) that will offer the
following
Tip from the late Douglas Adams - put a SEP field rund it - paint it
purple with orange spots and no-one will see it...
1. Will soften the look of the shed.
Hops. Golden hops will give some colour. See 2. & 3.
2. Will provide year round colour/interest.
An evergreen clematis, and maybe varigated ivy; passionflower; runner
beans - useful, too; outdoor cucumbers, ditto; jasmine - some varieties
will need help to grow up rather than out; soft fruit such as brambles,
tayberry, boysenberry; grape vine; morning glory; various climing or
rambling roses; wistaria; etc.
3. Will be fragrant?
Hops - if you like beer; I don't know if there is any fragrant evergreen
clematis; honeysuckle;
4. Will attract insects/wildlife.
Many of the above.
5. Will be colourful (I like colour!!)
See 2.
