We are renting a large house with lots of yard to play with. The landlord has set some huge cement blocks like a wall by an area I was going to put up my gazebo in. I was thinking something viney in pots on top of the wall so that they would come down and cover the ugliness would be in order. The area would get mostly shade and something that grows quickly and fairly easy care would work here. Any suggestions?

hope this helps,, i havent seen this one, but its a shade lover for sure,, does better with sun, but heres what i have found out,,



Climbing hydrangeas solve a problem for homeowners with shady areas to plant. Even though they won't flower as profusely if planted in full shade, these shade-tolerant vines provide attractive foliage that can cover quite an area once the plants mature. hope this helps you out, blessings, beth

Maybe a periwinkle (Vinca) could work, they don't require much in the qway of nutrients and they love the shade.
