Hi folks - I'm having trouble finding a vine that will cover two lattice walls that I have up between our property and the next door house. I thought I had searched well, and tried to grow English Ivy on them since I had read that the vines grew in the shade. Well - as you can see, it didn't work. It's two years later, and almost no vine at all. I had imagined beautiful greenery over these lattice frameworks by now, and I still have alot of wood. The area is shaded 100% of the time, but it is a high shade and dappled. Any suggestions of vines that would work here? The soil is evenly moist and well composted. I don't care if there are blossoms, just want some pretty greenery. - HELP, please - Dax080
