Background for perrenial border

Johnny4917
10 years ago

I would like to establish a perrenial border along a fence bordering the west side of my yard. It's a 4 foot high hog wire fence seperating my property from a vacant lot. It's a sunny location getting over 7 hours of sunlight a day. I have several pots of red coral honeysuckle. I've thought about letting the honeysuckle cover the fence providing a backdrop for a 4 ft x 30 ft perrenial border going down the side of the fence within my yard. Do you think the honeysuckle would work as adequate back drop for the border or would it become a nightmare to maintain? I also have several varieties of Clematis that I could allow to grow on the fence, rather than plant the honeysuckle. Another option might to set some potted red and pink knock out roses in the background rather than try to maintain the honeysuckle. Thanks in advance for the advice.
