Hi, I think Nelly Moser can be grown here, the shade won't fade its flowers I recall reading, but I am not an expert on these you understand! Also, we have a C. Cirrhosa 'Freckles' growing on North facing wall and it does great.

| A number of Clematis potentially fit the bill, but... - How big is the wall?
- Does it get any direct sun?
- When do you want the Clematis to flower? |

| I have C cirrhosa, admittedly not Freckles but Wisley Cream, and find that it does not flower well in shade. Only the parts that are in the sun get blossom. Also, we'd better tell repmar that C cirrhosa is a winter flowerer. Mind you, I am notably rubbish with clematis. The only ones of my 7 which are any good are a viticella called Sodertalje and good old montana Rubra. |

| Sorry for double post, had to abandon comp for a while & thought it hadn't posted first time. FloraUK, yes, thanks for pointing that out, a most important point,....'C Cirrhosa' is indeed a winter flowering variety,...silly me!
