    I wondered if someone could help me find some plants please?

    I would like a climber, preferably evergreen (or a suggestion of an evergreen climber and another climber that will grow together :confused:) to go over my trellis. I would like it to have bright red flowers. I'm not too bothered when it flowers. It will be in a sunny spot.

    The other plants I would like is a ground covering plant that has nice pink flowers and a pink climber. Again these will be in a sunny position.

    Any ideas appreciated
    Thanks
    Kelly

    A good red, evergreen climber would be Clematis cirrhosa Jingle Bells. The advantage being, it`s winter flowering. A good ground cover plant is Oxalis depressa. For a pink climber I would again go for a Clematis, if you have plenty of room, go for one of the Montanas.:thumb:

    Good sudgestions especially Clematis cirrosha.

    As for the pink climber how about a rose, constance spry or Mme Caroline Testout.

    Cool thanks guys. I like the constance spry and the oxalis depression (most sites say its a weed but its more likely to live lol:D). The Clematis cirrhosa Jingle Bells on the websites I've looked at say its white flowering :confused:

    I missed the bright red flowers bit, Ill have a think.

    A trumpet vine (Campsis x tagliabuana Madame Galen) would fit the bill but it is vigouruse!
