Help really need help

Hi just moved house in November but want to start planting in my back garden, but would really love a climber to grow on the fense at the bottom of my garden. But the bottom of the garden gets really wet. Want something that has flowers and grows upwards not out wards? It has to like really wet soil in bad weather as it gets a little water logged? Can anyone surgest anything that would be really nice and grow year after year! New to havin this type of garden! The soil is nice in the rest of the garden, just need to get rid of all the bramble roots, as this garden has not been looked after for a long time!So a lot of hard work ahead.Please help anyone.....
Thank you

Hi, little Angel!

Your best bet would be to solve the water-logged problem, then you could choose from a wide range of climbers!! If you dig up the area, a small bit at a time, and dig in some compost and sharp sand, and maybe some gravel or bark, if you have some around, that would improve the drainage. Then you could have clematis, jasmine, honeysuckle, climbing hydrangeas - all sorts! :D That's what I'd do!

 

Hi little.angel. What dendro says is right. Before you plant up the garden, you have an ideal opportunity to improve your soil. Are you on clay?

I know very little about climbers, but the name Hydrangea petiolaris (climbing hydrangea) springs to mind. Hydrangeas generally like moisture (hence their name) and this is a climbing variety. But I don't know how much wet it can take. Check the link http://www.gardeningexpress.co.uk/ProductDetails.asp?ProductID=12304

Another thought is Eupatorium atropurpureum (joe pye weed), which is not a climber but a perennial plant that dies down in the winter then grows to about six feet in the summer. Its the tall plant with pink flowers on the left in the photo below. It likes damp places. I love it.

 

Hello 'little.angel' - What about trying Ligularia/Zantedaschia/Astilbes - there are lots of Perennials which will enjoy these conditions although they may not be tall enough - that Eupatorium is a cracker PeterS

 

Thank you for all the advice i've had given me so far, nearly finished the structure of the front garden just mostly the planting to do. So i will be able to carry on with the back garden cant wait to see it all coming together. Just so many plants to get as i have none at the moment for the back garden , roll on the car boots lol
Your all great members will keep u informed of the progress
Thank you and god bless xx

 

I was going to suggest the same as Dendrobium, Just remember with persistance you can change or improve soil. If you fancy planting acid-loving plants just keep digging in ericaecious compost. There are so many materials out there to help all soil types and conditions. I would also suggest to buy yourself a soil and lawn care handbook, it doesn't need to be expensive, it then would just educate you on the basics, you should be able to get them from garden centres or book shops for about �£5 each. Good Luck!
