Cold hardy vine for full shade?
| | |

| I'm looking for a cold hardy vine for a full shaded area. My patio only gets maybe 1 hour per day of sun in the morning. Would love to have a vine climbing up a trellis along the fence, I've always loved that look. Preferably one that is cold hardy enough for zone 9. Maybe something that grows fast? Any suggestions? |

| Zone 9 is mild, of course. How much room do you have? How big your space is and how big each kind of climber grows will be important. |

| The vine would be planted in a fairly large 26" diameter pot. It cannot go into the ground as I only have a cement patio to work with, so all my plants are in pots. It would be free, however, to take over the whole pot and to climb up the wall and wind around the trellis... The trellis is maybe 7' or 8' high and 10' wide x 5' deep. It doesn't have to take over the whole trellis. But it does need to be able to survive full shade. Like I said, this spot only gets maybe an hour of sunlight in the morning, and only dappled light during that hour. |
