plants to cover arch
What combination of plants could I suggest to someone who has a lovely
metal arch and would like fragrant flowers but more imprtantly as long a period of interest as possible. Quite sheltered garden facing south, neutral to alkeline soil They aren't expert gardeners so good doers perhaps, but not rampant stuff. Colour not important I thought lonicera out because it so often gets infested, jasmine might get unruly(though poss, stephanese) and doesn't take to pruning, maybe clematis and roses or a trachleospermum, maybe even some annual climbers like ipomea, eccromocarpus Think whoever sold them their house took their plants with them as there seems to be nothing in the ground apart from 3 very unpruned young espaalier apple trees, a whole bed of chives, a pile of assorted stones, three msierable roses planted about 5 feet aprt and a climber outisde that looks very similar to clumbine but has reddish stems and slightly more jagged leaves. Looks like it dies every eyar then grwos on top of what died -- Janet T. Amersham |
