Patio Cover

Posted by Sabra1974 CA (My Page) on

Hello aHello,
I just built a patio cover in my back yard. It is made of wood, in a sunny part of the yard, and the top is currently 2x2s spaced out 4 inches apart. My goal is to get a climbing plant to grow ALL OVER this patio cover and I am wondering what plans you might recommend. I would prefer something with a pleasant smell, that does not attract bees, insects, etc.
Can you help??

RE: Patio Cover

Hi & welcome to Gardenweb! This particular forum is for discussing stuff that's not necessarily garden-related. I might recommend trying your question on CA or vines forums, maybe both. Your idea sounds lovely, but I've never been to CA!

Sabra, I used to share a house in Newport Beach with 3 other ladies. The "leader" of our group was also in charge of the landscaping. We had a pergola over our back patio, which she covered with white bouganvilla. Wondering if that would work for you, too?
