I am trying to find a vine/climber that will grow in an area that receives
only about 2 or 3 hours of sunlight per day. I have found many that will
grow in full or partial sun, but none that will grow where I want to plant
them.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Feckless, is that you? Humph. Well a professional is a professional, I
suppose. Try English Ivy.

I have tons of this myself. I planted just a couple sprigs back in a
heavily shaded section a few years ago and it is now very dense.

The problem is that this can be quite invasive, the only thing it
doesn't seem to like is full sun. I spent a good deal of yesterday
chopping it back and pulling it off trees, more of the same today!

And if you like invasive, there's wysteria, which seems to like a few
hours of sun.

Thanks, I have both, fortunately they are bordered on one side by a
street and on the other by my garden, where it is duly noted and whacked
when it presents a problem (usually once a year).


It won't grow quickly in shadow but it will
grow with just a bit of Sun. I'm trying to fill in 40 ft. of chain link
fence, underneath oak and bay trees (heaps of shade). It will probably
take another couple of years. Sounds like you have more Sun, so it
shouldn't take that long.
