Climbing Plant Advice/Suggstions
Watch this postNeed a bit of advice/suggestions. A fence panel at the bottom of my garden is close to collapsing but my neighbour (who the fence panel belongs to) is unwilling to replace it. I am thinking of putting in a perennial climbing plant(s) to hide this horror. Growing frame can be added on my side and the panel is approx 7' high and similar width.
What plant could cover this? Regards,

I trained an already established Akebia vine on to the trellis and a year later you can't even see the trellis, let alone the fence behind it.
I am in British Columbia, Canada, but I know our climate is vey similar to that of the UK.
It is a very vigorous grower and you need to keep on top of it, but I am more than happy with the results.
