looking for some ideas

what would you plant up this trellis???
already got 4 clematis plants??
not a finished project yet just need to put roof on and side to keep the noisey people at bay lol but weather keeps holding me back lol
please dont mind the snow lol

 

How about a Passion flower, it's semi-evergreen depending how bad the winter is.

 

Nice area for those BBQ's come Summer
I would have Roses and annual climbers.Morning Glory,Glory Vine, Sweet Peas...

 

Or a solanum (potato vine)? The ordinary blue one is reasonably hardy, fast growing, and flowers for ages.

 

I would have honeysuckle, Scented clematis or thunbergia.

Good luck in what you decide will look nice on your trellis.

 

cheers guys
just been to garden center and got a packet of sweet peas(the bulk packs with 6 different sorts all the high scented ones)
already got some morning glorys in pots.
carnt have roses because of little ankle biters lol

 

This will do you for the summer then for permanet feature can plant later.

 

cheers scotkat

 

Your welcome GM

 

If you want an evergreen climber which is very dense how about a solanum which has blue or white flowers and the butterflies love, I had a blue (purple/blue) one which was very quick growing the only thing is I think the berries may be poisonous but the birds love them. Just a thought for when the sweet peas finish.

 

right then anyone know were i can get some solanums from must be a good company as have had trouble in the past ordering online.(Non-Gardening Discussion)
thanks again all for the help..

 

I'd recommend the Clematis - Armandii Snowdrift - it's a vigorous grower,evergreen with large white flowers ... ours is in flower at the moment. It would probably appreciate a sheltered spot in your climate, but your trellis looks quite sheltered within your fencing panels.

 

I agree Mona. I bought one fairly late last year so it is still fairly small. No flowers yet (I am in North Yorkshire not South France) but it stayed green all winter and is sprouting shoots like mad already.

 

Hi Geckoman
I think you're doing the right thing growing some highly scented sweetpeas you will get a beautiful smell everytime you sit out on your deck.

Just remember to keep twisting and tying the shoots onto the trellis work because once the sweetpeas are happy they grow like crazy! Hel.xxx.

 

well thanks for that helofadigger
i will keep tying them back as they grow just bring on summer lol
