Vine for shaded fence

15 years ago

We have an "ugly" fence separating our duplex from our neighbor, and am asking for suggestions as to possible vines that would work: shaded yard, many trees, not very deep, with little sunlight hitting the proposed area. Any thoughts would be appreciated

We have a cleamtis bush that gets mostly shade due to northern exposure; it spreads wuickly, and "vines" up the deck railing and would spread more if allowed. It also blooms with cool purple flowers.

How about a climbing hydrangea? I'm not sure if it will work in your zone, but it does where I live in zone 5+.

Virginia Creeper and Boston Ivy are good for a shaded or part sun area. I have just planted some in a similar situation myself.

A little bit of morning sun or dappled sunlight is ideal.Fast growing and great fall colours.
