| Morning glories need lots of sun... There are shade loving clematis...see link below. You would need to put a piece of wire fence around your lamp post so the clematis tendrils have something to grab on to. Otherwise it won't grow. I finally learned that after 5 years of trying to tie my clematis up and around my lamp post. Never worked. |

| Virginia Creeper is a native climbing vine. It doesn't have much of a bloom, but is lush green all summer and turns a beautiful red in fall. It provides berries for birds and is a host plant for many moths. It can be very enthusiastic and spread into everything around it. Martha |
