vine for part shade?

15 years ago

Just wondering....

Is there a flowering vine that would be happy with part shade? I would like to train one up my porch post. The roof eave shades the post from what would otherwise be intense afternoon sun. Any suggestions or will I have to think of something else to do in that spot?

Lonicera X Tellmanniana, Jasminum Aurea aka Fiona Sunrise, Actinindia Polygama, Passiflora caerulea, Schisandra, lots of Clematis and several thugs you won't want in that location. You will need to wrap the post in monofilament netting or hardware cloth as these are all tendril climbers.
