Robust Climber for north east facing fence

4 replies

lechatnoir · 23/09/2021 11:25

I'm after a climber to (eventually) disguise the fence at the end of my garden plus blur the line between wall & fence. It's near the seating area so something fragrant would be nice but do want year round coverage with some colour part way through the year - I love wisteria and jasmine but totally clueless about gardening so not sure if these would be suitable. Photo of the area attached - it's a raised bed which may have an impact on size/type of climber. Ideally I'd like to get something planted now although appreciate autumn may not be the best time Confused

Trachelospermum jasminoides. No colour really as the flowers are white but otherwise ticks the boxes. It’s everywhere round here growing up fences!

You could grow a couple of clematis or roses too, they won’t be evergreen so won’t help to cover the fence much but will provide colourful flowers.

Wisteria needs sun

Honeysuckle. We have this on a cold north facing wall that’s deep shade until 4pm and it’s strong and healthy.

Thanks ever so much I got a lovely variegated jasmine and DH is just fitting the trellis now. I might look to add a clematis later on but it's not a massive space so going to start with one and see how we go.
