Climbing Plants For Shade

Can vines grow in shade?

Climbing vines can thrive in shaded areas, but this depends on whether they do well in shade or need full sun to produce impressive leafy bowers.

Some can tolerate shade whereas others need it to be their best – just choose the best one for you depending on colour, scent, size, if they’re low maintenance and the best environment and soil for their growth. You can grow yours against a fence or trellis for a fantastic and relaxing outdoor area.
