I need to plant a climbing plant in a shady place, what do you suggest?
The situation is a terrace in large 60/80 Liter pots
There are two places one which is sheltered on a inside corner of a east/south facing wall so it gets sun in the from midday until evening. Hieght upto 2 meters spread 3 meters.
The second is south facing under a terrace so it gets very little direct rain. Height 2.5 Meters limited spread 1 meter.
It would be nice to have perpetual flowers for summer.
Have planted many climbers but all have died.:-(
Answers:
A Clematis vine is very fragrant and colorful, easy to grow. BUT if ALL your climbers have died.....the soil isn't up to par or you need fertilizer.
