Title: covering my back fence
Post by: georgiesgirl on March 25, 2004, 10:26:47

I am looking for plants to cover areas of my fence at the end of the garden.
A small part is covered by ivy, and another part with a rambler rose [Leontine Gervais].The rose is ok,but disapointing in its flowering.Persevering with it as a present from my late mum.
I was thinking of maybe another rose or clematis.Eventually i would like all of the fence covered.
My garden slopes upwards from the house.Any ideas. Regards Anne

Clematis , can usually find one for any aspect and any time of the year! Some grow at a terrific rate! (the montanas) I really depends on the aspect of your fence, facing south, total shade?   Hope this helps  DP

Jasmine officionale is another lovely one, the scent is gorgeous and once it gets going is covered in pretty white flowers  :D
