For an East-facing Wall with Viking Queen......

last modified: 9 years ago

which of these might be best? This is an 18' wall facing due east, so morning sun only until about 1:30pm. It is total shade in the PM. I have a selection of Hybrid Musks that I "accidentally" bought and wonder if any of them could be used here. I have a Viking Queen which is doing OK there, but I've removed Sugar Moon, Heathcliff and will soon be taking out a Falstaff growing up the wall, as it was far too shady for them. (Don't worry, they're going to sunnier spots once they've recuperated.)

It could be used as a climber, but should ideally reach at least 5' tall. I'm most concerned with BS, color compatibility, repeat bloom and thorns. The choices are: Felicia, Belinda, Penelope, Bubble Bath, Lavender Lassie, Sally Holmes, Parade, cl. Pinkie. I also have what I believe is Zephy from a cutting I took last year. Does anyone in a similar BS pressure area grow any of these? I guess I'm looking for which one does the best in shade or is the least impacted by it.
