Advice on climbers please?

[Gollom]

I have just built a privacy shelter around our hot tub - basically a 8' wooden frame with trellis on 3 sides. The site is pretty much full sun all day (when it shines that is!) and I am located in Lancashire.

We would like something that will provide cover very quickly but is not too dense. Evergreen would be great as would some colour and nice smells too - don't want much do we? lol! Wouldn't it be possible to include flowers as well as leafy plants?

Final thought - nothing that creates too much debris as it will be around a big tub of water!!

Many thanks for your help

Clematis armandii sounds suitable for you.

Hi Gollom, I think a climbing hydrangea would do well for your situation, an evergreen one like petiolaris will grow in any aspect, most soils, as long as it retains moisture and is very hardy.
It can be a little slow to start off with but this gives you a better chance to train and fan-out the branches to provide a good screen. Good Luck Tbird+
