Texas Gardening: coral honeysuckle location, am I doomed?, 1 by bohnnco

Hi,

After lots of thought, considering a few vines that included sky vine, crossvine and a few jasmines, I decided on our native coral honeysuckle. Everything I have read (even a few posts here) says it does not need full sun, it can do well in part sun. Please take a look at my location. This is an east facing fence, so the top of the fence will get morning sun through around 1:30 or so when it dips behind the house. This picture was taken at 5:00 PM, so you can see it is shaded in the late afternoon. The top of the lattice is 8 ', so the vine just has to grow up to that sun. I am in Houston, in the city, zone 9.

Thanks!
Brett
