If there are any that are not vines you may have to pot and hang them on your trellis. Or plant what ever you like that works on that trellis and hang feeders from the trellis to attract hummers . I am very impressed with the small flowered vines that you have now. Since you don't mind growing plants that reseed, salvia coccinea works great....as does clerodendron bungii (cashmeer bouquet-see photo) , Mexican flame vine, and most budleia. But these all need sun. Best of luck! Johanna |
