Ivy or evergreen climber suggestions?
I need an evergreen climber to cover a pergola, preferably quickly. This
pergola is resting on one side against a house wall and the brickwork is not in the best condition, so I need to be careful. I would not want ivy to grow all over the house wall. I need something that is not going to try to do that. I want the climber to act as a screen visually so people can sit under the perrgola and not be in full view of overlooking buildings. Ivy of some sort seems the obvious choice but I don't want to be fighting some colossal entity for years to come in the attempt to stop it climbing all over the house wall. It did occur to me that there might be an ivy that only climbs a few metres and then stops. The pergola is a little over two metres high and three metres across from the outside to the house wall. I could plant more than one climber along its length if need be. A climber that will cover the total five metres from the ground to the top and then over to the wall and then stops would be ideal and _maybe_ there is something that would do that, more or less. If it grows a little more than that I could trim it, but it would need to be not growing much more than that. Any suggestions would be helpful- if there is anything that fits this description! -- VX (remove alcohol for email) |
