Honeysuckle, clematis, wisteria?

A splash of colour would be nice, something that can be pruned back
fairly hard so that it does not get out of control. Might be good to go
for a mix of species that don't all flower at the same time each
year to
get a longer spell of something nice to look at.

There is lots of choice in climbers, but a possible problem with
arranging different flowering times is that if they all grow and
intermingle, their different pruning requirements will make it
tricky to maintain.

Yup, "low maintenance" and "fit and forget" are terms that appeal to
me gardening wise :-)

(I don't mind hacking bits off from time to time, but I am not about
to uproot things and winter them in the greenhouse!)




The only maintenance our 2 jasmines get is from the lawn mower .

Yup, my kind of gardening! If I can set about it with a power tool, then
I can cope with it!

One of them - a cutting from t'other - is on a North facing fence which
just seems to have encouraged it to reach for the sky.
