clematis definately...beautiful flowers!!! I just bought another one from Lowes
Reply:Clematis - Very pretty flowers.
Reply:Clematis is a GREAT sun perfomer and come back better each year.. There are a wide variety of colors and blossom times.. feel free to mix and match for a longer season
Reply:honeysuckle or morning glory
Reply:clematis.

honeysuckle loves sun
Reply:blue or green ivy
Reply:Most types of Clemitis, there are color variations to please almost anyone.
Reply:Most varieties of honeysuckle and jasmine, they smell great and can take some neglect. But if you have pets, Carolina jasmine contains poison and should not be planted around kids or pets.

Have Fun Gardening!
Reply:Clematis is my favorite BUT while they love the sun on their face, they like their feet in the shade. Mulch heavily Or - even better - plant at the base. Different varieties climb to different heights and need to be pruned differently. Make sure you know what your buying and then check on line for proper care instructions, often the care instructions on a plant's label will be generic and not 100% correct.

Reply:I would try annuals, My favorite is hyacinth bean

also sweet pea,

you can try the tropicals like bouganvillea and get used to the fact that they won't survive winter
Reply:You could do clematis, but there's also trumpet vine and climbing roses.
