Question: I have a chain link fence in full sun. Can you suggest some vines that would cover the fence quickly each spring?

Answer: Consider planting a mix of annual and perennial vines. The annuals will provide color and coverage this first season. The perennials will take a season or two to grow large enough to cover the fence. You can decide then if you want to continue planting annual vines between the perennials for the added color. There are many varieties of both annual and perennial vines to choose from. Here are just a few suggestions: Annuals: morning glory, black-eyed Susan vine (Thunbergia), canary creeper. Perennials: clematis and honeysuckle (USDA Zones 4 to 8), trumpet vine (Zones 5 to 9).
