What to plant on North side of fence
We've just had a new fence put in along the back of our South facing
garden, and the border along our side of the fence needs replanting. Obviously this gets little sun (sometimed a bit in the mornings, but only from late spring onwards) and then it's shaded for the rest of the day - there is a neighbour's garage to the West, that causes a lot of shade. What kind of easy-maintenance plants should we think about putting in? Any flowers, climbers, shrubs etc. would be considered. The top-soil is good but on a bed of clay and slightly alkaline I think (the Hydrangeas are pink!), if that makes a difference. -- Chris |

Hydrangea petiolaris grows very well climbing on north facing walls - though it is a slow grower until it gets established. -- Regards, Martin Brown |
