North facing fence
I'm not a very good gardener - what can I plant up my north facing fence at the bottom of my garden? It's about 20 - 30 ft from the house - I can only think of clematis and ivy - is there anything else that's easy - the fence is about 6 ft high - I promise I'll keep them watered

Camellia's do OK on a N face. As do Wisteria. Chaenomeles (Ornamental Quince) Try taking a look online for 'plants for shade' as this is what you normally by N facing fences!-) // Jim |

Martagon lilies especially seem to appreciate shady conditions. -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada |
