I have an six foot high fence i want to hide with clematis plants or some other type of climbing foliage.What would you recommend i should plant?If i plant clematis(or anything else) how far apart should i plant them and how would i have to take care of them?..do they require cutting back every year?
Thank you for sharing Ronald.The passion fruit vine is beautiful.The flowers are so pretty.Alas,i live in the UK and our weather is not suited to growing the passion fruit plant.Thank you all the same.
Namaste.
I’m trying to do the same thing as you. This is the idea I came up with.
Clematis is very nice because it does bloom all season long. But it don’t stay green in the winter.
Plant English ivy. They come in solid green and white and green. You can mix the two. You don’t need any supports for the ivy because it attaches it self right to your fence. It grows little stickies.
So now you have a fence that stay’s green even in the winter. And it grows very fast and spreads really quickly saving you time and money.
Now for some color!
Take the clematis and plant that right in front of the ivy. Let it grow right over it. You can even buy some other flowering vines and climbing roses and have all your colors climb right on top of your Ivy. Your Ivy will be a nice green back drop. Keeping color in your yard year around.
Plant your flowers 3 feet apart. The ivy can be planted at any distance.
