And what is worse does not flower that well unless it gets sun! yet so
many books say " good for north walls" It is in my view worse than Ivy

It is crazy- I know I turn to books looking for factual information. Just as
well that we have this as well nowadays....

One of my hobby-horses is the moan that books tell you only what
the author feels is best, and not what is possible and what isn't.
Pruning is a particularly bad aspect, where it is almost impossible
to find out whether you CAN prune a plant hard, if you have only
limited room.
