    Hi new to the forum and i am finding it interesting . i will snoop around later for tips and hints . Just one question i have a really sunny spot south facing no obstruction from morning to late afternoon, it can even be quite warm in winter . and i would like a few suggestions on what climber to plant , quite high and any colour white if possible and evergreen if possible. i have tried montana MAYLEEN and clematis PRINCE CHARLES and both didnt like it much Both were in the ground

    Hello norbellini and welcome to GC. :)

    You don't say or indicate where you are so this could be a difficult question to answer.

    How hot is hot? I can advise on climbers that really like it HOT .... others on here can advise on climbers that like it 'hot', if you know what I mean?

    A wee bit more info on your location would be useful.

    In the meantime, enjoy the forum.

    If you are in England then hot means warm to Portugal I think LOL.

    I have had a good experience with wisteria.


    And welcome to the foorum.

    Thus the "if", as it is a UK based forum, I am afraid I do at times assume, ;)


    Well Yorkshire-Gods Own Country! A beautiful place and arent you lucky near there.:D

    Well, there are a lots of climbers that do very well in hot conditions, honeysuckle, forsythia etc so you really are lucky in that you can take your pick-whichever you like best.


    Although it sounds like somewhere I personally would put a rose-but then I hardly need an excuse to plant one of those.:)

    thanks for the wlcome you guys i was thinking of Honeysuckle maybe dropmore scarlet ive seen that and really like the deep orange colour do you think that would do the job and not wilt in the sun
    Sure can be a nice place to have a garden round these parts round the west side of Hull in the villages .We seem to get mild winters very little snow , not much frost .The only drawback is east winds blowing of the north sea in the winter and then you no what "nithering" is We have had some bad press with social and flood issues but there is some beautiful leafy areas round here .we dont mind the press as it keeps it a secret for us:)
    as prescott said it is more like a 250,000 pop. village
    will be in touch any other suggestions let me know, i soak it up

    Evergreen and white, brings to mind Hydrangea seemannii, but it really needs to be passably mild in winter.
    Schizofragma hydrangeoides "Moonlight" is not evergreen but is hadier, and very beautiful.

    These are the leaves:

    And these are the flowers:

    I've grown 3 or 4 Passion Flowers from seed this year, so if you are not in a hurry they are quite cheap too.
