Trying to fine flowering, climbing vines for part shade/shade
| | |

| I'm seeking suggestions for flowering, climbing vines to train up an arbor leading to our shed area. I'm still assessing lighting requirements, but am thinking it's either part shade or shade (will have to check light distribution at different parts of the day this weekend).
Can anyone please suggest some attractive climbing vines (preferably ones that flower) to train up the arbor? We're not certain if we will be planting them in the ground or in large urns (so we can move them if necessary in the future).
Thanks in advance for the suggestions! |

| If it is part shade, there are several varieties of clematis that you could try. I have 'Silver Moon' growing on the north side of a slatted fence, under a Heptacodium. It gets little direct sunlight, but still blooms well. This Spring it's had 20 blooms. 'Hagley Hybrid' & 'Nelly Moser' are also recommended for partly shaded conditions. |

| We have two honeysuckles that do okay in part shade. For full shade climbing hydrangea is beautiful. Entling is right about some of the clematis. We have a Nelly Moser that does well in part shade. |

| I love my Sweet Autumn clematis that grows in about 1 hour of sunshine each day. It is a FAST grower with tons on small white flowers. Beautiful! Also Silver Lace vine, which also grows in about 1 hr sun, but can pull down a trellis if you're not careful! |
