Looking for suggestions for shade

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

Since I have very little space and love plants, its challenging to eliminate options. I have a shady spot, and to my knowledge does not get any direct sunlight. North side of the house, east is also blocked by the garage. But my camellia sasanquas bloom their head off so this year I put in some dwarf gardenias. They haven't killed themselves yet, whether they bloom is another question.I am in Houston, Zone 9a. Looking for a vine that I can grow in a container for some vertical interest. Since i dont have much garden space, i decided I can be picky, and if possible, want the following:evergreenfragrantable to bloom in the shade (ok if it blooms less)Prefer continual bloomers that bloom on and off to something with just one flushable to grow in container (my husband has a bias against putting vines in ground after a couple of bad experiences with a neighbors vine)Shades of white, light pink, yellow, cream, blue etc ok, my house is an orangy, pinky red and these colors dont show wellDoes anyone have any ideas? Sorry to be so specific, I'm not trying to be demanding from a plant, but since space is a premium, i dont have the luxury of planting multiple things to different functions. Thank you!
Eta: I put in a hydrangea little lime that bloomed decent in the summer in the area
