Shady Vine?

18 years ago

Help, I need a vine that likes shade. The site also does not have great drainage (which I believe is what did my Climbing Hydrangea in). A website I had seen suggested the Star Jasmine Madison. Does anyone know anything about this vine? I saw a Star Jasmine (not Madison) at Lowes the other day, is that the same thing? The information for this vine said it was hardy to 32 degrees (not going to make it through winter in my area). Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help!

Chocolate vine is doing great for me in shade. Also the Kiwi vine likes the shade in my yard.

Sandy - what is a chocolate vine? How much shade does your Kiwi vine (and the chocolate) take? Thanks!

G'Day!
What is this vine to grow on? Wire fencing? Wooden wall? It makes a differnce, as different vines use different means to hold themselves up. And, are you talking full shade, or does the area get at least some good indirect light?

i'd love to find some climbing hydrangea for my shady vine area!

happy gardening,
