Also, which side of the house do you plant hydrangeas? Light-O-Day would be best planted on the east side to protect the variegated foliage. The only thing to watch for with hydrangeas on the south side is to make certain that you water deeply the first couple of years to grow good roots and get them established.
Then, what plants best facing north?
Five plants for a north-facing wall
- Chaenomeles x superba. These supremely tough shrubs are matched in beauty, making them ideal plants for a north-facing wall.
- Clematis alpina.
- Akebia quinata.
- Ivy.
- Virginia creeper.
Will clematis grow on north side of house?
A few rocks at the base will keep the base adequately cool in most cases. As for aspect, I've had several clematis bloom in considerable shade, although they obviously bloom more generously in more sun. The only thing I would avoid is full shade, which is most obviously to be found on the north exposure of the house.
