virginia creeper or honeysuckle will do well as mine are .

clemmatis would probably do well to but they dont like there lower parts in the sun .

I've had a couple of passion flowers growing on a north facing wall for a couple of years. They seem to do okay, not overly abundant with flowers, but when they do flower they are beautiful - check my pictures for one of them.

Thanks all, I was really after an annual rather than something more permanent, which I believe they all are? I still have my L plates on!

Morning glory is an annual as well as 'black eyed susie' or sweet peas, have a look at the seed packets they usually give the growing conditions

I don't think morning glory flowers would open in shade though. Wondering if nasturtiums might be the best bet, but they would need some sort of support. Happiest in sun obviously but it might be wortha try.

i dont think youl find much apart from sweet peas but im know expert .

Sweetpeas sound good--I'm trying them in a shady spot this year. I would also try climbing nasturtiums as suggested above as the leaves are very attractive even if there are fewer flowers in the shade. You can get them with variegated leaves as well, which would add interest.

maybe get them going well in pots before you put them in there final position to give them a good start . just a thaught .

Good idea NP, though they do romp away once they get started.

well she still has her L plates steragram and there a good thing to learn on not being permenant lol xx .

Ah thank you everyone, think I might try the sweet peas. I've lived in this house for 16 years and in all those years my garden consisted of just trees and grass, well I've had the trees removed and new fences put up, so I've dug a border all around and and slowly but surely getting it planted up. I'm getting hooked on this site I might even post a few pics lol.

Good luck with that then Suzy. If the fence is long enough why not try both?
Love the flashy new avatar NP - who can that handsome bloke be?

Its long enough alright, 12 panels, all in the shade haha.

i dont know steragram but he is a rather good looking chap lol xx .you got lots of choices susy im quit envious . once4 you get hooked you soon run out of garden lol xx .

If you do run out of garden Sis you can come over and have a go at mine!

Only after you've brought your pickaxe over Bro and put your back into my pond...

what goes around comes around lol .

doesn't it just Noseypotter

apserlutly lol x .
