Hi,
I have put up an arch and would like to plant some climbers. I was wondering what type of climber looks tropical but will survive the victorian weather. I kinda like the look of the clematis but does anyone else have some suggestions.

Maybe you can find another climber that you like and plant them together? Yours looks gorgeous - the flowers will more than make up for the bare branches in winter. Re: Best Climber 20Apr 04, 2009 9:52 pm thanks kek, maybe I'll do that! Or just plant the clematis for now and see what it does in the winter, and if it looks horrible then I could plant something else.
