Need to hide a wall?

If you need to disguise a wall or would rather look at a plant than bricks, here's some help.

Firstly, decide which way the wall in question is facing as this is imperative to know when selecting the most suitable plant.

North facing walls - the ground in front of a north facing wall will suffer from dampness and lack of sunshine. Some suitable varieties could be Clematis hybrids, climbing Hydrangea, Ivy, winter Jasmine or Roses (e.g. 'Gloire de Dijon', 'Mme Alfred Carrière' and 'Mme Grégoire Staechelin').

South facing walls - as these get plenty of warmth and sunshine dry soil could be a problem. Try Honeysuckle, Passion Flower or annual climbers mentioned above, such as Nasturtium and Morning Glory or Ceanothus, Mexican Orange or Myrtle which are more tender plants.

East facing walls lack sunshine and sometimes suffer from cold winds. Flowering Quince and Forsythia should be suitable and most Roses would be O.K.

West facing walls are probably the best site of all and, therefore, decorative shrubs and climbers such as Magnolias, Camellias, Wisteria, Honeysuckle or Clematis Montana would be ideal.

I love honey suckles. I have some on our fence. One thing you can do with them is take the end off of them, and a little stem will come off too. Then there is a little drop of honey (not sure if it is real honey), so you suck it out.

Thats how it got its name.
