Hanging down creapers for shade

Post by Athar »

I have about 6 inch wide wall at my home that gets sunlight for about 2 hours ( from 11 am to 1 pm) & can accommodate small pots on top, I am looking for a c reaper ( other then money plant) that can be grown in pots placed over the wall which will hang down to give a pleasant look, preferably with flowers, any suggestion?

Google the pictures for Cephalophyllum alstonii, it is a commonly available creeper which performs best when root bound and allowed to hang, seems to be ideal for your requirements..
