What type of vine?

Hello everyone, I have a question I need your expert advice on!

I have a small back garden surrounded by old brick walls about 2 meters high. My neighbour who lives on the other side of my back wall decided to extend the height of the brick wall between us by another two feet or so with an ugly wooden panel on top of the brick wall. They were kind enough to offer us a wooden trellis to attach on our side that runs the width of the back wall to help hide the ugliness of their fence.
It's still god awful ugly though, the trellis is a shorter height than the wooden fence panel behind it so you can't help but notice it. They also put it up with the back towards us so we see the bits of steel support panels.

I need some fastgrowing vines of some sort to cover this! It's a pretty sunny location. I don't want anything completely overbearing as I'm afraid it will darken my little garden. What do you suggest??

 

Clematis Montana. May I ask, Sandra, who owns the wall?

 

We own the wall. Initially the neighbour had attached and nailed the wooden panel to the top of our brick wall but was explained to him this will damage the brick wall and act as a wind sail! He has since attached the wooden fence panels to posts independent of the brick wall on his side of the wall. But when we are looking at it from our end, it just looks like an extension of the brick wall. An ugly one I might add.

 

All clematis I have grown in the past have taken years to fully establish, is the Clematis Montana faster growing?

 

Ok Ive been reading about Clematis Montana and it sounds like they are very fast growing. I may be able to plant two different vines on my back wall, I was thinking one on each end to cover everything faster. How about along with a Clematis a honeysuckle or Wisteria? Or maybe a climbing rose? I have never grown either one so unsure.

 

Clematis montana are REALLY super fast growing, you can nearly see it growing before your eyes! lol Russian Vine is another super fast climber, aften called "mile a minute" with good reason

I'd personally prefer to plant a variety of clematis and honeysuckle along the wall, you'd still get the coverage your after but my goodness wouldn't it look fantastic in flower

 

Thank you for the info! I think I would like to go with a clematis and a honeysuckle. Clematis Montana it is - how about the honeysuckle? There are so many varieties to choose from there too. Fast growing is important!

 

The best Honeysuckle "scent-wise" is L. periclymenum.
