I built a trellis to block the view from a neighbors window and I am hoping to fill it with a vine to furhter block the view and improve the overall aesthetics. It is in a full shade location. I currently have confederate jasmine growing on it but the leaves are few and far between. I assume this is because there is not enough sun. I am in Houston, TX so frost is very rare and the summers can be intense. -What shade loving vines can be used? -Obviously flowering or brightly colored leaves would be nice? Thanks Matt |
Matt, Good cover in the shade is difficult. Confederate jasmine is a good choice and perhaps you can do some thing to brighten up the shade a bit such as doing some trimming of trees. English ivy would love the shade but is a bit invasive if not kept in bounds with periodic pruning. Thanks for the question. Please stop in again soon! |
