I recently bought an arbor to fill in a bare spot in my front yard. It's on the west side of the house, so is limited to afternoon sun. Are there any flowering vines that can be depended on to produce well in partial sun?
Clematis is a beautiful flowering vine/plant in a few different colours and it loves the sun. If you have good soil and tend to it, the vines will cover your arbor in time..
Cup and saucer vine. Although the flowers like the cooler weather at the end of summer/early fall more than they like the hot weather. Boy, do they grow fast.
"wisteria"....never plant this in anything but a concrete drainage pipe, placed 4' deep...unless you want this vine to take over everything in sight. The roots will run 40 to 50', just under the surface of the soil. I have pulled up hundreds of yards of roots in my backyard, which had been neglected prior to my arrival. There is no doubt wisteria is pretty when in bloom, but it is difficult to constrain.
Reps, and thanks, to all. I had been searching the internet, and it seemed everything I came across bloomed best in full sun.
I love wisteria, it grows wild everywhere here in GA. But, I also know not to deliberately plant it unless I want to spend a lot of time making it behave.
Jasmine. It depends on your climate as I don't know if you have freezes / snow / or what type of soil. If you consult a Hardiness Zone Map (8) is where it does best. Jasmine is a wonderful plant. Smells great, no need to fertilize, and green year round. White flowers for Mother's Day.
Ah. I see you're in Canada so my post was redundant. Good luck! I am in Texas and have no idea on which plants do well in the cold north. !!
