plz advise me a perennial vine for this location which can climb up the grill above and hide the tiles also as they are very old and cracks are beginning to appear in them.. currently a ground cover is growing in it..but is not doing well because it is not receiving enough sunlight... the picture was taken at 11 am yesterday.. as you can see very less sun is coming..in the late afternoon the intensity of light increases a little bit but not enough..and in winters the sun just seems to disappear...on average about 2 hrs of direct sunlight comes and other than this the whole day condition is same as in the photo i.e no direct sunlight...if any annual suits this location please mention that also..

experts please put some light on this topic.. :roll:

Ideal location to grow Hoyas... Karachi's climate is good for Hoya ..you will get evergreen vine with lovely star like flowers mildly scented too.. there are many varieties which can be grown in harmony with each other as the requirement of nutrients and sunlight is low... you can buy them from the nurseries on Korangi road...
