Evergreen Climber

Hi, Have just built a pergola over our pond and need to plant evergreen climbers that grow quite fast but can be kept under control - I know to avoid Russian Ivy!!! Any other ideas.....................

 

Clematis Armandii - evergreen and a lovely scent in Spring. Some honeysuckles are also evergreen and again you get the bonus of that heavenly scent in summer.

 

You could have evergreen Honeysuckle, there are several evergreen Clem atis or Hydrangea seemanii, Then there is the Passionflower, Sollya and Trachelospermum.:gnthb:

 

Clematis Armandii - seconded!

 

Maintenance hours / year: 1
now even i could manage that amount of work:lollol:

 

Cyril are you sure? I could try and cut it down for you if you wish.:hehe::D

 

Thanks for all who replied - Can't wait to go shopping over the week-end - Clematis Armandi it is

 

:lollol:yeah please :D

 

i like the look of that one myself :thumb:

 

aye, put down ttwo of them to hide an ugly wall about a month ago, both have about 2 ft of growth already(just the main stem) but i'm well impressed, nice heavy green leaves, perfect for what i want..:gnthb:

 

Armandii, Appleblossom.. Planted it last year and its just coming into flower,
