Shady climbers for year round interest
I have a small garden surrounded by houses all sides and my neighbours have just erected a fence resembling the Berlin Wall on one side. I'd like to grow something up it which has year round interest. Few things to consider:
* the fence is 2.5m high, 4m wide so nothing too vigorous and swamping! * it's almost always in shade and is north facing, maybe an hour or two of dappled sun max * would prefer light and bright colours to stand out (everything seems to be pale or white for shade - bit of colour would be good) * would prefer something evergreen to add interest in winter if possible * would love fragrence but being greedy now!!! : ) I was considering a mixture of rose/clematis/climbing hydrangea/other vines - can anyone advise if the following are the way to go: Rosa Madame Alfred Carriere Rosa Zephirine Drouhin Clematis 'Dawn' Clematis 'Guernsey Cream’ Clematis 'Silver Moon' Any other suggestions gratefully received. Thanks |
