    Anyone have any experience with this climber. Was hoping it would be good for a raised bed in a deep shaded wall but after research on how vigorous it is I'm afraid if it. Don't want to annoy the neighbours. Thanks

    It'll grow 40ft and needs support for it to climb. You can prune it back to the ground every winter but it's more bother than it's worth if you haven't a huge space for it.

    Thanks That's what I'm worried about although it is charming.
