Default Climbers/plants for a shady wall


"Nick wrote in message

Wisteria,
many honeysuckles, many clematis, Akebia quinata, a few roses and
probably more. Most temperate climbers will grow happily with no
direct sun if they get plenty of light.

However, Wisteria, which fits the brief exactly, likes a lot of sun on the
top growth to flower well but it's not needed on the stem. If it's in the
shade permanently it won't flower much if at all.
