RE:Climbing plants.I have planted some climbing plants approx 8 inch from a wall.?
Definately no closer as the soil would be too dry, ( the wall sucks out the water). Remember that clematis likes cool roots, so if it's a sun-baked wall, put some stones or gravel around the base of the plant. About 20-30 cm wide and 2-5 cm deep.
Reply:as long as its good rich muck 8 inches will be ok - plants cant measure!!!!
Reply:My clematis is about the same distance from my fence. It was the perfect distance because as it has grown, it has put off other shoots that now cover the distance between the fence and the plant. The bottom now appears fuller.
Reply:I planted a lady bank rose in my front flower bed and I love it. It only blooms for a few weeks in the spring but green the rest of the summer. But I have people stop and tell me

how they love it.
Reply:This is a sensible distance to put plants from the wall. It gives room for roots to grow. Remmber to keep feeding our pants, though and good luck.
