I have an ugly, beat-up metal fence that is about 4 feet tall, facing east. My neighbor is putting up a six ft. wooden fence on his side of it, leaving about 1-2 feet of space in between the two. I want to plant a vine to cover my fence. I want a perennial, flowering, and preferably fragrant vine that will not take over HIS fence! Is this possible? I don't think climbing roses will do because after his fence goes up, they will only get morning sun.Any suggestions?

I have carolina jasmine and it gets morning sun only it hasnt done so good for me when you say morning sun you mean about 4 hours thats what mine gets and its not so pretty but the one in 8 hours sun is beautiful so I think Id find a vine that does better with 4 hours or less sun.

I vote for the purple hyacinth bean vine. I think its the best looking vine. It only grows and blooms in the summer/ fall, so you would need to plant something like sweet autumn clementis with it. That way you would have coverage all year long.

I like crossvine/bignonia capreolata and yellow or Carolina jasmine/gelsemium sempervirens - they're both evergreen.

Not exactly a vine but a great rose if you live on a Sandy Area. It is the species rose that all roses on sand want for root stock. It is a great rose by itself. I am growing 3 and they are truly a marvel.
