vines for sheds
"FarmI" ask@itshall be given wrote in message
... "0tterbot" wrote in message have a fugly shed i want to cover, & have decided (i think) on soemthing from the jasmine family, because they are easy, tough, evergreen, etc. & then they make nice flowers. our climate is rather cool & the soil in that spot is all clay - there's no topsoil there & i assume jasmines will grow there (they seem to grow anywhere!) i also don't want anything deciduous, as the shed is just as ugly in winter as it is in summer ;-) the planting spot faces about east-south-east. does anyone have any points for or against jasmine in this situation? is there one jasmine above all that you would recommend? or a better suggestion? if you had a fugly shed, what would you grow on it? I'd grow a Dorothy Perkins rose. They will grow well in clay and will grow over the whole shed (sorry not a huge fan of jasmine). my loathing of roses is only matched by their loathing of me g! (it's an early-childhood-bike-accident thing....;-) having said that, we do have a lovely pale-yellow (thornless!!!!) climber here & it's just beautiful. i'm pretty sure i've seen dorothy perkins & it is beautiful too. old-fashioned climbing and banking roses really are lovely provided i don't have to go near them. sigh!! thanks for your input! :-) kylie |
