Shade Climbing Fower
Asked by Cynthia on 14 May, 2008
Any suggestions for a perennial climbing plant that will grow in the shade?

I have a honeysuckle vine growing in the shade. It blooms all summer and is very attractive and low maintenance.

I,m looking for a climber for exactly the same reason,
and have found a clematis "viennetta" it has a beautiful flower,so type the name into RHS plant finder, and see if anyone stocks it close to you

Thanks so much for all the suggestions. Can't wait to plant one of the mentioned shade climbers!

Yes, there's Hydrangea petiolaris, Pileostegia viburnoides or even some Clematis prefer the shade - like 'Guernsey Cream' and 'Nelly Moser' for example. Don't forget the Hederas, either - though not on the side of your house! Honeysuckles, Parthenocissus henryana and P.tricuspida. Will that do to choose from?
