Maybe?

 

I don't think that Hi Scent is "white", but depends how white you want it but there are other Sweet Peas that are definitely white

 

I am growing Cobea Scandens , cup and saucer vine purple for the first time this year. Only two germinated from 15 seeds (Ebay) , but they really grew well ! They are planted climbing up trellis fencing and are very vigorous . They only flower late summer so keeping my fingers crossed for a good show.
I grew sweet pea Royal Family white and also lavender this year . Now I find SPs can be a bitty iffy growing and flowering , but these are doing great . They are up to 6 feet now and flowering really well with a nice perfume, these are planned in for next year as well !

I grew Cobaea last year (100% germination ), I put 2 plants in a very large container and boy did they grow, they scrambled on to the roof of an out building that I was growing them up and then started up the house wall, by the time they stopped there was about 15 to 16ft of growth!!!

And they flowered really well from August until October

 

Thanks all. Whichever I choose it will be growing through a Willow in a fairly shady spot.

 

I've got a packet of these http://www.thompson-morgan.com/flow...-seeds/lathyrus-odoratus-white-supreme/6410TM
if you want them? Was given a whole load of sweet pea seeds this year and never got round to sowing any of them but don't particularly want all white anyway so you're welcome to them. PM me your address if you do.

 

nFrost , SPs need a fair bit off sun to perform well , may be not a good choice for your spot.

 

I don't think it will work out very well from what Harry is saying, thank you though LIF.

Does the Morning Glory I suggested need a lot of Sun also? The soil is going to be pretty moist in that position also.

 

Yes, I think so

 

Dunno if they have any climbers ... and they won't have anything annual!! ... but just in case it gives you any ideas:

Yes it does.

I would go for something spring flowering (the angle of the sun is lower so not so shaded by the willow) and leave the tree to do its thing in the summer.
Maybe @ARMANDII or @Ian Taylor could suggest a well behaved spring flowering, shade tolerant Clematis.
The best that I can offer you is Akebia quinata which can be fairly tolerant of shade.

 

Clematis Macropetala 'Wesselton'. Spring flowering, tolerates shade and my sandy soil.

@longk, five cuttings rooted.....just!

 

That's looking like a good'un - light on the foliage so it'll disappear into the Willow in the summer but brighten it up in the spring as it gets going.

Nice one!

 

@nFrost , my Cobea scandens , cup and saucer vine ,has just flowered ! Huge flowers nearly 3" long . The vine is very aggresive , growing everywhere - so hoping for a good long flower show on this . I'll be trying the white next year for certain

 

White Bryony is nice, but you'd need to keep the berries away from the kids
