| Hello,
I'd like to grow a natural fence on the side of my porch using long, narrow planters and a trellis to provide some privacy. The area is mostly shaded but gets some sun. What would be the best plant/vine to start from seed? I'd like it to have grow as fast as possible and be perennial. Thanks! |

| Honeysuckles? I know a few varieties grow well in shade. |

| I've had good luck with "Silver Lace Vine". No fruit with that vine....but pretty ...and fast-growing....and hardy in cool/cold areas. It doesn't seem to mind what soil OR whether it's Sunny OR Shady. My soil is generally alkaline (ph of about 7-7.5) and mostly caliche clay. It really thrives with some added compost. |
