I have a spot where I need to put a screening vine -- I'm adding a bench / trellis for it to climb. I'd like to do a couple of clematis, one up each side of the trellis. The location gets sun only from 11:00 till noon. I know Sweet Autumn is recommended for shade, and I could probably get a start from the one on my back fence, but I'd sorta like something different. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Arlene
Clematis needed: 1 hour of sun

Will they get one hour at soil level or at top/ flower level ?
At soil level it will be okay, but here one hour at flower level is way to little

thy, pretty much both top and soil level -- the hour is from about 11 am till noon so the sun pretty much covers both. I know it's not much light at all, but I want to create a little screen of my neighbor's wall, where they store their beach toys. I may end up trying a start of my Sweet Autumn -- I'm sure I can find a rooted sprig somewhere in that mess!! I think I'll try the porcelain vine on the other side of the trellis.
