fast growing climbers
, but evergreen and grows quite fast.   Various colour combinations, such as green/gold, green/white, etc. Akebia quinata  and Trachelospermum are lovely climbers - they both do well in our garden Pam x http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/plants/plant_finder/plant by dodo

the programme. I fully support him for being honest! If he had told us all to go ahead and plant during the cold spell we would all be complaining to the BBC for his bad advice. He should be praised for telling us the best advice. Most of us hardened gardeners by jad1
