    Hi, I've got a 6ft high by 18ft wide horrible red fence to cover. I've decided this is the weekend to plant (payday and bank hol all wrapped up in one!)! I need climbers that aren't intrusive (garden backs on to others so although fast growing, nothing over 6-8ft, and with me having such a small garden, nothing that's going to protrude much more than say a foot. In addition, as if I already wasn't asking a lot, evergreen and fast growing would be very nice. I've got honeysuckle already on my list, was toying with clematis but think I want something I can pretty much leave to get on with it! Any ideas?? Thank you!

    I have some seeds for Chilean glory vine if you want any, when it starts to grow, there is no stopping it, has very nice bright orange flowers.

    This is the Glory vine last year, with sweet peas next to it.
