Hi all!
Down here in deepest Kent I'm looking to cover an ugly north facing
concrete garage wall. It does get some sun late afternoon / early evening
but is in shade most of the day. Ideally I'm looking for something that is
fairly drought tolerant, self-clinging with some spring and / or summer
flowering and a fairly vigourous climber. Am I asking the impossible or do
I have to compromise? Any suggestions will be gratefully received &
acknowledged.
TIA

Whatever you do, don't go for ivy! I've been left loads of the stuff by
previous owners and it's a nightmare! It's very fast and aggressive and
needs constant cutting back - I also understand it can damage brickwork,
roof tiles and spouting.

I'm trying hydrangea seemani on a shady fence and it's progressing
upwards in an orderly fashion without support. Haven't seen any flowers
yet, but that would be a bonus.
