Looking for a non-invasive shade tolorant vine for wire fence

12 years ago

I live in Breaux Bridge, just south of I-10, near Lafayette. I have a wire fence (not chain-link... more like cattle wire on a solid wooden frame) that I would like to train a nice evergreen vine on, and maybe some flowering vines as well for year-round privacy and beauty. The fence is in mostly heavy shade. Any recommendations?

Confederate jasmine should do really well. It's an evergreen and smells amazing in the spring. It will grow like mad the second year it has been planted. Mine have always grown the first year but once their roots have been well established they go gang busters. Carolina jessamine should do well too and it has pretty yellow flowers.
