North wall climber

| I am looking for suggestions for a climbing vine, or climbing 'something' that would be good for a north wall that gets only 3 hours of sun in the summer evening. Flowers are prefferable, but not neccessary. It cannot be invasive. Thanks! |

There is not too many that will grow in the shade that produce flowers for our cold climates, the only one you can try is Hydrangea petiolaris-Climbing hydrangea, a very slow grower. Of other vines, there is Hedera-Ivy and Euonymus-wintercreeper, but they dont produce flowers.
I have tried honeysuckle vine, it is for semi shade and its doing nicely in the shade. It has a pretty red flower and has a nice fragrance. |
