  • shady northside climber?

    My shed's a bit of an 'orrible metal thing - to try to spare the neighbours from too much visual pain I've got a (somewhat) trained pear growing on the east side, and a vine growing on the south. West where the door is so only a few pots there.
    I've tried a few things on the shaded north side but having no luck - my greenhouse has a clematis that is doing well so worst comes to worst I'll try to train it across and over. Any suggestions for a shade tolerant climber that will (ideally) flower and cover some of the ugliness of the shed?

    Clematis like their feet in the shade and heads in the sun. Honeysuckle is happy in shade, being a woodland plant.

          There are several climbing roses that will happily grow on a North facing wall too.
