I just cleared out some wisteria that was threatening the porch structure, and now I need to plant a vine that will shade my front porch between the railing and the porch roof. The soil is rich and well drained. The vine will go in a 3 foot space between the side of the porch and two flowering shrubs that are about 6 feet tall. For the first 6 feet or so, the plant will have dense shade, and then above 6 feet, will get plenty of full sun. So I have 2 problems. First, what to choose, and second, how the heck am I going to get the vine started? Even the expensive ones at local nurseries aren't tall enough to get the business end into the sun. Ideas?
