  • Amazing Climbing Plant

    Hello all.

    I am after an amazing climber.

    I say amazing because I want it to grow in clay soil (not water logged thankfully), be happy with almost no sun except in summer when it will get a few hours, be happy growing in a small plot of land, roughly 30cm deep although about 120cm long, be a fast grower and finally I'd prefer it to be evergreen.

    Only other condition it needs to be not poisonousness to cats.

    Is there such a climber?

    Many Thanks

          Virginia Creeper, fabulous autumn colour. Oops, sorry, it's not evergreen.

            It's next to a fence so can attach something for it to grip too. Id prefer something that flowered so unless I'm wrong ivy is out.

            Thanks for the suggestions

              How high do you want it to grow?

                I have a rise - mme carriere in a north facing wall. It seems happy with a couple hours of sun, and seems vigorous too. White flowers, with a tint of pink and a delicate perfume.

                Lovely

                            Well, that's where the linkie would come in handy. One of the best 20 mins you'll ever watch.
