I need a purple creeper!

MaidenTyOne · 2010-09-25 11:22:50

I've recently had my garden landscaped and am starting to plant. I have a not so pretty concrete shed down the back and would love to start hiding it with a creeper. I have a small wall dividing levels in the garden painted purple and would like to pick up the colour with a creeper. Being new to gardening I have no idea…

Anyone know of a creeper with a purple blossom that will spread nicely? A deep colour would be preferable but I'm open to suggestions.

Are you looking for Purple Flowers (Anyone know of a creeper with a purple blossom), Flowers which will be available only for a month at most durning the Season.

For Flowers Lookup Some Clematis "The President" Or " Multi Blue"

Or Purple Foliage ? Look up.. Vitis vinifera 'Purpurea' (purple-leaved grape vine)

If it's purple flowers your after I'd recommend a clematis or passionflower

Solanum crispum "Glasnevin". Not a self clinger, it would have to be trained but a lovely plant and usually evergreen in Ireland.
