Vine to cover chain link fence

13 years ago

Hello, are there any deciduous or evergreen vines out there that will take over a chain link fence in full - part sun? I have climbing hydrangea going up the side of my house but think that is just too girthy(?) and would like something a bit lighter that i can train to the top of the fence, then let it take over.

There are many wonderful vines - some perennial and some annual. For a well-behaved perennial I like sweet autumn clematis - it gets huge, covers itself in small white blooms and is fragrant.

For an annual vine, you might like morning glories - there are so many pretty ones.

Hello we have a wired chainlink fence. Our vine is a white potato. Has white flowers and is fragrant. Seems it loves our wired fence it flows and flows. We live in a coastal area. It also can get bushy and grow tall.

Good luch on your choice of vine. So many to choose from
