Need A FAST Growing Vine

21 years ago

I have 2 of those wire deer's that have the motorized heads that move and would like to make topiaries out of them now but this whole yard-garden thing is new to me. I'm in the Columbus area so what is a FAST growing vine/ivy for this area? TIA ~Tina

Polygonum aubertii (silver lace vine): aggressive twining vine, mid to late season bloom. white

beware of anything that is advertised as fast gorwing and twining

Ohio Tina, are you wanting something that is planted in the ground to grow up onto your deer or are these frames ones you line with long fibered moss, soil planting media, and plant into that mix?
