Hydrangea

Very pretty, but looks like it would get bushy rather than cling flat
to the wall.


I think Charlie probably meant Climbing Hydrangea. A different thing
from the nomral Hydrangea

Ah.....(Google....).....

So - would they fight if I alternated the fence bays with a Climbing
Hydrangea and an Ivy ?


Hold on a mo' - what about Wisteria for this job? Or even a mix of Ivy,
Hydrangea and Wisteria?


I hope you have time to wait ...


Patience is a virtue!

Mind you, an Ivy would cover the wall fiarly quickly, but would it then
prevent somethig slower growing from climbing through it, or could the
two co-exist peacefully ? I presume the Ivy would strangle anything
else?
