sugegstions for a climber please
Hi
I'm in the Midlands. I just erected some trellis screening in my backgarden. The garden is on a NE-SW line, and the side of the trellis I look at from the house faces NE. It is in a shady area that doesn't see a lot of direct sun because of nearby hedges and conifers. I want an evergreen climber that will have colourful flowers, berries or leaves at some time of the year - maybe in the winter, but that's not critical. Any ideas please. Many thanks |

Many thanks With that aspect it should be cool enough for the evergreen honeysuckles to be OK (lonicera japonica and all its named forms. You may also be able to get away with Clematis armandii, or Solanum laxum album. You will have a better idea about frequency and severity of frost where you are than me. I also like the variegated Ivies and they look wonderful when in flower and fruit at this time of year, especially good are Silver Queen and Golden Esther (to get the flowers etc you must let them reach the top of the fence with out trimming them. -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collections of Clematis viticella (cvs) and Lapageria rosea |
