Creeping fig. Does well in shade.

Correct. If you live in a hardiness zone 8 or higher, creeping fig plants can be grown outside year round and can grow more than 20 feet tall. This is a popular choice in Houston as it grows quickly and clings tightly allowing it to "take the shape" of a fence, column, or home façade.
