| Hi all! My name is Shell and I live in southern end of central, ca. I'm active on the garden junk forum, but this is my first post here. I have a question. What are some shade loving climbers? |

| A few of the best shade loving climbers are Climbing Hydrangea, but it is slow to grow. You may also try Dutchman's Pipe, a strange but interesting vine. Some of the new Clematis will grow in part shade.Are you looking for a perennial vine or an annual vine? There are some lovely annual vine that will grow for you, everlasting sweet pea is a perennial that will give you color but no scent. Morning Glories will also grow, in part shade, get the blue one, it is quite striking. Mrs Greenthumb |

| Hydrangea anomola var. petiolaris, H. seemanii, H. integrifolia - climbing hydrangeas Schizophragma hydrangeoides - Japanese climbing hydrangea Clematis armandii - evergreen clematis Akebia quinata - Chocolate vine Actinidia kolomitka - Arctic kiwi (male is variegated, very cool!) Holboellia coriacea - China Blue vine (odd, blue sausage-looking fruit) Ficus pumila - creeping fig Parthenocissus species - Boston Ivy/Virginia Creeper all should be hardy in zone 9, although the creeping fig will not like extended periods of frost |
