Vine type advice

Apr 24, 2007 3 Replies

Hello,



I am new to this NG. I have a 5 Ft high page wire fence that runs for aproximately 175 feet. I want to put in a "hardy" leafy perenial vine that will offer some sort of privacy. What would you use and how far would you plant them apart for maximum privacy? I live in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for any replies.....Jim


"Jimi" news: snipped-for-privacy@corp.supernews.com:

That's a fairly long stretch of fence. Do you get much sun? My first thought is English Ivy but I would need more particulars. I've got a very slow going vine called 5 Leaf Akeebia. It is really sturdy but a very slow grower. If you get a bit of sun, even dappled shade I would maybe go for the Virginia Creeper. They are very hardy here in St. Louis and the fall foilage is very attractive.

Hi Jim Get some Virginia Creepers in 1 gal pots. Plant them on 18" centers.
