Need suggestions for fast growing vine in baskets Zone 6

11 years ago

last modified: 11 years ago

Hi! I just put a two panel privacy fence up in my backyard yesterday. I am hoping I can hang a small basket, maybe on each of the 3 posts, with a fast growing ivy in it that will wind its way through the lattice work. Is there such a thing? It sits in full sun all day long. I want this lattice closed up like yesterday. :/

TIA!

It's an annual but look at Thunbergia alata, black-eyed Susan vine. Grows very rapidly and quite large and will bloom all summer. Unfortunately, I can't think of any perennial vines that will thrive in a small hanging basket - much too large a root system.
