Hello everyone,

I've just joined and I'm hoping that someone out there will be able to
help us.

I've recently erected a sturdy trellis above the dividing wall between
my
neighbours and our rear yards. I am desperate to find something to
grow up and
along the trellis which will:

1) Grow very quickly
2) Provide dense coverage all year round (we don't get on with our
neighbours
I'm afriad)
3) Still provide colour and ideally something that flowers
4) Will grow in containers (my back yard is concreted)

Does anyone have any ideas? If so, I'd really appreciate it if you'd
share them.
I have attached a picture.

I've never grown anything so I'm only learning. I've got as far as ivy
and
clematis (montana, armandii) but although I read that these can grow
big, I
don't know how fast they grow. I don't care about maintenance, we
just want to
screen our yard from next door as soon as possible.

Thank you
Chris

So many of them (Brit posters) do it, that I suspect they don't know
that they are talking to the colonies as well.

Hello,

Yes, sorry, I clearly missed a trick here. Yes, we do live in the UK -
England.
We live in Yorkshire and the yard is south east facing. Because
of the houses
around it gets the sun from morning through till mid
afternoon.

Thank you
Chris
