Good Morning All,

My daughter recently purchased a home whose backyard is enclosed by a cyclone fence. While she is grateful for the security it provides for the children, she isn't happy with the way it looks. What type of vine could she plant along the fence that would be hardy and relatively fast-growing? We live in Ohio. I believe that is zone 5.

Thank you.

Here is a partial list
Honeysuckle (Lonicera) need support when they are first starting out, but are generally profuse bloomers. Hardiness and flowering vary greatly with the variety you choose. Great for hummingbirds.
Trumpet vine (Distictis buccinatoria) flowers best in full sun but will bloom in partial shade. It is hardy to 24 degrees F.and needs yearly pruning to keep it under control. It blooms sporadically with warming weather.
Virgin's Bower (Clematis paniculata) is very hardy climber from the Orient that will reach 30 feet. White, fragrant flowers in August and September.
Dutchman's Pipe (Aristolochia littoralis) has a very unique 'calico' flower and is evergreen and hardy to 25 degrees F and root hardy to below 20 degrees F.
'Mme. Galen' Trumpet Creeper (Campsis x tagliabuana) has bright orange flowers and is hardy to below 0°F.

I was looking for that list and was just not seeing it!
