Mayennaise Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Sorry - should have been clearer - southern UK on very very chalky soil (at the bottom of the chalk hill at the back of Portsmouth harbour!!) and it is a southfacing brick wall topped by a horrid wooden fence.

britgirl Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Honeysuckle should also do well. I found that the first year after planting my climbers didn't do very well, but this year (the second) they are really thriving.[:D] For more info http://www.which.co.uk/documents/pdf/growing-on-chalk-154026.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayennaise Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Brilliant link Britgirl - thanks. The three shrubs that MOH planted in the bed at the foot of the wall today, were listed - so we got that one right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russethouse Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Yep - plant it and stand well back ! Plus it's a magnet for blackfly IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
