Hello gardening gurus,
The plants that came with the garden in this house all seem to hate low lighting and skew off in wierd angles, it's a terraced house and a small garden which recieves very very minimal sunlight.

Theres a really quite badly rendered and downright ugly back wall which I want to grow a climber accross, I'm wondering what kind of plant I can put up that'll survive all year round, relatively low maintaince. Preferably as cheap as possible, moneys tight and i'll only be living here another year and a half.
I've got a few biggish plant pots, 3 maybe 5 gallon I'd guess.
I'm open to some kind of vine as well, I make wine so a bit of fruit wouldn't go amiss.

Any advice on it would be much appreciated.

I am no expert but we have several montana clemetis climbers growing in a shady part of our garden and they seem to grow really well. In fact they seem to thrive on neglect which I just as well :lol:

I have a number of different Ivy's around my garden in shady spots and they seem to love it.

Hey have you tried looking into Devil's Ivy? It's pretty low maintenance and excellent on low light. My gf used to have one, no idea on price though I'm afraid :dunno:
