I live in the Dallas area (hot!). I have some trees planted but still have exposed single-story brick walls that need shade from direct sun to help reduce cooling costs. The walls have flower beds at their base about 2 feet wide and face West. What would be a good plant to cover the walls but not look too messy in the winter if they are deciduous. Evergreen plants would be fine if their is something suitable. |
Frank, That is a challenge. I might try a clinging vine such as trumpet creeper (very vigorous), or Carolina Jessamine (Gelsemium sempervirens)(needs a support to climb on. Thanks for the question. Please stop in again soon! |
