Shade Loving Climbers for Your Garden

When planning your garden theme and layout, using the best climbing plants for shade is a good idea if your garden gets rather dark throughout the day. This is common in North facing gardens, as the sun often disappears toward the end of the afternoon.

However, it can be confusing when trying to understand which full shade climbing plants are best for your garden. That's why we have compiled a list of the best climbers for full shade to help your garden feel bright and colourful even when the sun disappears.

Clematis

Many Clematis plants do well in the shade, whether it be full or partial. However, some full shade climbing plants will still require a bit of sunlight, even if it's from the top of the plant that hangs over a fence.

Lonicera

Lonicera, or honeysuckle, is the perfect climbers for full shade as it blooms in mid to late winter. Produces a floral scent, perfect for those looking for a focus plant to tie their garden themes together.
