Trellis
I have a folding cedar trellis, about 48". It's brand new & it just sits in my shed. I have the perfect spot in front to put it but it doesn't get sun in that area. Any ideas of what I can do with it? Can anyone suggest maybe some kind of fast growing,climbing, reasonably priced plant or what ever? Thank you !...........Madeline

Hi Madeline. Clematis and Boston Ivy will vine up on the trellis. They love shade too. And they both will come back every year. Good luck Madeline. Be well.
ivy loves shade!
Another option would be really real looking flowers or vines I have faux plants in planters on front porch neighbors ask how I grow them but I’m talking really really good looking ones
Jasmine would do great in an area that isn't full sun - wisteria as well
Climbing hydrangeas are beautiful and grow well in shady areas.
There are a number of clematis vines that tolerate or even like shade.
Madeline, If your trellis is a mere 48" in height, Insert it into the ground, using extension pieces of cedar screwed into your trellis, as needed, then plant taller daffodils/hyacinth bulbs, iris, astilbe, or similar, into the ground in front of the trellis.
If the trellis is much taller, after inserting it securely into the dirt and against your home's structure, plant any of the aforementioned shade tolerant plants about 12" in front of the trellis. As the plants grow, you may need to loosely secure their branches to the trellis with garden twine. Cover the base of your plants with mulch after watering and fertilizing to shade the roots from drying winds/insects.
