We're putting in a trellis(?) on the south side of our house in Denver. It's going to cover a patio. We'd like to use some kind of vining plant for this. Here's a shopping list: Denver-sun tolerant, no fruits to attract roosting birds, an open shade. It would also be nice if it were "controllable".
I'm ignorant here so I'm wide open to ideas and your experiences, good or bad.
thanks!
