| Does anyone have suggestions for flowering vines that grow in mostly shade? I have a section of old fence in the shade that I would like to cover with a vine that blooms in summer. Area may get a few hours of sun in the morning. Thanks. |

| Try a Clematis vine. I have several growing in shade. This "Niobe" gets very little sunlight.

| Your clematis is beautiful! I thought that they required alot of sunlight but I see your doesn't. So I may try one. Thanks so much for the pic and info!! |

| April, Dutchmans pipe (Aristolochia) is very shade tolerant. Mike519 |

| Another possibility would be Schizophragma hydrangeoides 'Moonlight' Japanese Climbing Hydrangea. I have one growing happily up a wood fence in pretty dense shade (under a deck). |
