Hello. I own a Front garden terraced house with rear yard. The yard has its sunny places but mostly shaded areas. I have a kitchen extension which takes up a large amount of space, however, there is plenty room for other plants in tubs. I have window boxes but we wait until the bedding out plants come on the scene before using those. I would like some ideas as to what plants I need, we have an arch which I would like to cover with a climbing plant, any ideas on which climbing plants?. I also would like to know if Japonica would be an ideal plant for follage etc.

Clematis are noted for liking "their feet in the shade and their heads in
the sun", so would probably do well there. Also ferns would be good.

Where do you live? Climate will make a big difference to what people
suggest.
