flowering climber - suggestions please?

(1/3) > >>

snuffyzee:
I have recently taken on an allotment for the first time...

Once all the hard work is done and the veggies are in, I want a nice climbing plant to grow over my shed. Although the rest of the plot is a sun trap, the area around the shed is shaded by overhanging trees.

Has anyone got any suggestions for a nice plant, preferably a sweet smelling one with nice flowers?

Joan:
Hi. My shed is in the shade of a hawthorne hedge which is some 15 feet tall but I have a honeysuckle growing up in it and it seems to be doing really well judging by the amount of buds on it. You could try that.

snuffyzee:
Thanks Joan, I love the scent of honey suckle so I think that I may take up your suggestion!
;D

Joan:
Good! Let me know how you get on!
regards

do you want a perennial climber? i grow cobaens scandens (cathedral bells or cup and saucer plants) every year and they cover great areas and look absolutely fabulous. also sweet peas will take some shade (mine do). black eyed susies (thunbergias) and morning glories. i like to grow annuals as i like to chop and change.
