| I have a very big, very ugly boundary wall to cover. I can only plant something to grow from the ground up. it needs to grip to the wall by it's self - no wire or trellis.
The house is in Thailand, by the sea so it's hot and the wall gets plenty of sun, and salty coastal winds twice a year. I plan to plant ficus pumila but as it's growth rate is slow (35-40cm a year?) I was wondering if anyone knew of a faster growing option that will give good wall cover? Many thanks M |

| I suggest you to grow a Cobaea scandens, it grows very fast, it's very beautiful (even the foliage), flowers are very big and beautiful, it doesn't need anything to grow on , an rough wall is enough. I had mine in june it was 30 cm (1 ft) tall, and now 2 months later it's over 2 meters (6ft 4 in)!! |
