Thanks It matters quite a lot where you are and what direction the fence faces. -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |

Then NOT Campsis x taglibuana or several others. Most honeysuckles, most clematis etc. You should fix some wire or netting for all of those (plus Akebia quinata). Clematis armandii is excellent, and is evergreen and flowers vigorously and with a strong scent in spring. You may succeed with Holboellia. Virginia creeper and climbing hydrangea (and relatives) will self cling, and the latter do flower. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Won't the honeysuckles just head for the top and then point all their flowers towards the neighbour's side? Not if they are the 'northern' varieties and kept hacked back, er, pruned at intervals. At least L. periclymenum and L. japonica are happy with a northern aspect, if gets a fair amount of light. L. x tellmanniana isn't. I haven't tried others in that location. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
