The sunnier the better for Escallonia, and lighter soil, but I'd think it would be fine there. The white one isn't fully hardy, but the pink ones are fine.

Clematis Hagley Hybrid would likely do well there. I had one growing under my north facing porch and it flowered well from late spring into autumn despite the lack of light and water

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

Oh thank you that sounds fantastic. What group is that will it need pruning?
That sounds great Pete, thanks. I have a ‘ spare’ wisteria ‘sinensis Amethyst falls’ it’s suppose to only get to 10ft… I wondered if it would grow/flower there.

I used to cut mine back to a good pair of buds at about 1ft in spring. I did move it to a sunnier position when I extended the house, but the flowers are paler in the sun.

H. Hybrid is a Group 3 , so cut back hard in spring. You'll need to ensure it has decent soil when planted, plant lower than it is in the pot, and watered well until established. By watering well, I mean watered deeply, so that the roots get right down and can access moisture themselves. Mulch regularly too. I'd make sure if you decide to go for that type of clematis, you plant it well away from the willow though. It'll soak up huge amounts of available moisture. It wouldn't be my choice for that site. I can't comment on Wisteria, but they need a bit of root room, so whether there's enough for it there I'm not sure. I don't know if it would lift the path. Someone who grows them might be able to advise.

Pete and Fairygirl, thank you, i am a little worried re moisture there for the Hagley Hybrid. Its vary dry soil. Hmmm. I am thinking of going for Eunymus silver queen and may try a hagley hybrid in the next trellis panel where it will get more rain water and a little sun. Otherwise my other thought was a Photinia louise already grown on a frame...saw these at my local garden centre...any thoughts?
