Shady wall or fence

Climbers on a shady wall or fence

The boundaries to the north and east can be changed by surprisingly attractive climbers. Some will perform better on the eastern border, which should receive sunlight for a part of the day. Others will cope in full shade.

Rosa 'Wedding Day'

Rosa 'Wedding Day' is a fast-growing and fragrant Rambler rose that is ideal for covering the wall or border of the house in partial shade. It tolerates poor soil and northerly direction but prefers moist, well-drained soil and plenty of space.

Ivy

Ivy copes in deep shade. The native form, Hedera helix, has beautiful dark green glossy leaves. Colorful patterns help to illuminate the dark corners of the garden.

Honeysuckle

Honeysuckles like Lonicera periglimenum 'Serodina' (pictured) climb over walls and fences and rejoice in the shade. They smell wonderful and are great for wildlife.

Star Jasmine

Although small, the star jasmine flowers, Trachelospermum jasminoids, are highly fragrant. It's happy on the east wall, it's shady for a part of the day but gets a little sun.

Clematis viticella

viticella clematis, like the 'Black Prince' shown in the picture, is a hardy variety that can quickly cover walls and fences. Like all clematis, they do their best in a cool, moist shade.

Chinese Virginia creeper

Parthenocissus henryana fast-growing, self-adhering climber, suitable for the northern or eastern border, which turns rich crimson when frosty nights come. Its color is very vibrant with little sunlight during the day.

Clematis Alpina

Despite its sleek appearance, Clematis Alpina is very hardy and tolerates shade and cold temperatures. Lay it on top of a fence or lower wall for beautiful spring flowers. It does not need pruning.

Clematis x durandii

Enjoy indigo blooms all summer with this shrubby clematis that has vibrant stems rather than climbing. To cover a border, tie them with support as the stems grow. Clematis x durandii prefers shade for a few days, so copes with most aspects.

A successful small garden requires a big idea

You can let a large garden develop. And by 'large' I mean a garden more than 80 feet (25 m) long. All of the most successful small gardens I've seen lately have a strong idea behind them. In a small space, you can see everything at once, so it's important that everything looks good together. This principle applies regardless of shape, although many small gardens are wider than they are long. See here for general tips on the Shallow Wide Garden . Here are three successful small space garden ideas to inspire you. A plant-lover's garden After visiting Philip Ostenbring's garden (open once a year for NGS), I realized that a small outdoor space for unusual plants is a wonderful display area. There is no need to plant in a small space, in threes or in drifts, as the plants are very close to you. Each model looks great in a courtyard, terrace or patio garden. Whereas if you dot a variety of single plants around a large garden, everything can look out of p

Great Designs for Container Groupings

Once your single containers are ready to merge It's hard to fail with a group of containers. Any size group, from a simple couple to large multiples, can enhance any outdoor space. Open patios and decks become softer and more intimate when you place pots around them. A straight and simple outdoor path lined with containers can become a wave of sorts—a formal one with some plants or an informal path with others. You never know what you'll come up with by placing one pot next to another or a particular plant with others. Once you start experimenting, you'll notice many places where a container is grouped. 1. Combine bright colors This collection of colorful pots introduces the viewer to the vivid color scheme in the beds behind it, mainly blue flowers. However, to maintain exclusivity, pots get exclusive rights to colors like magenta, pink and chartreuse. 2.
