I would like to plant something in my yard that could vine up a piece of lattice. The area gets a bit of sun in the morning but mostly shade. Don't want something will go wild and take over the whole space. Something that flowers would be the best but I know it may be hard without much sun. Thanks for any suggestions.

How about a clematis? Or black eye susan vine?

I have seen some beautiful clematis and would love to grow some. Will they do well with quite alot of shade? Also are they very delicate? I was once told they were so delicate that even bumping them with a lawn mower or brushing past them would kill them. If they are hardy enough that would be my favorite option. Thank you for suggesting them.

There is a whole forum on vines. And another specifically for clematis. If you spend about 5 minutes browsing each forum, you will come up with about a dozen ideas.

i say nasturtiums ...they are yummy and cool looking.
depends on what your climate is like though...but they do fine in shade, maybe they prefer it. they like lots of water though.
