What is a nice climbing plant to put on the back of a shed?
Can you please tell me how to train a plant to climb a shed as well please.
The back of our shed gets little to no direct sunlight.
In fact, how would a man grow Honeysuckle up a shed?

Nail some inch thick laths to the hut then fix either wires or mesh to this then you will have all the necessary support.

Quite a few Clematis would grow under these conditions.

Agree with Gardener ! My clematis alpina thrives in similar aspect, as does a climbing hydrangea ( petiolaris ) Both flower profusely, and much prettier than Russian Vine!!  ;)  ;D
