I'm about to fix a trellis in my new conservatory, I want to grow a

I would like to paint it white before fixing on the wall, can anyone
reccomend a type of paint that would not be toxic to Jasminium
Stephanense please. It would be decorative rather than protective.
Thanks

Sadolin White Woodstain
Water based, satin finish, long lasting. I have used it on exterior
woodwork and it has lasted in excess of 4 years. No prep needed, around
£12 per litre

Thanks for that, but is it non toxic to twining plants coming in to
contact with it?

Don

I would say yes on the grounds that I know of no modern paints that would
have a toxic effect on any plant. I would avoid coatings that are marketed
as wood preservers although most of those are now fairly harmless
