I was wondering if anyone could recommend a fast climber that doesn't

the shade? If it has a nice flower then so much the better :-)

I apologise if this question, or a variant, has been asked here many
times
before :-) I'm very much a gardening newbie.


Not terribly fast but Hydrangea petiolaris is the first that springs to
mind
- that needs to 'stick' itself to a wall and has to be kept well watered.
Are you thinking of a trellis, though?

It would help if you said roughly where you are and what is causing the
shade (shade under trees is quite different to shade from a wall, or maybe
you have both?!)
