onewish1, the trumpet vine is an excellent cover but very invasive, we have it all through the lawn, the spruces, and else where. In keeping it under control the term "constant gardener" comes to mind. Some attribute it's spread to runners but I think it is from seed. Wisteria can be almost as bad with it's runners, we have it trying to remove the siding from the house. Butterfly bush can be an effective screen and easier to control. It is also an attraction for pollinators. I have seen pics of trumpet vine growing wild in Calif. covering whole ravines. It is the Kudzu of the west, the only thing in Calif. growing faster is Arnold deficit.LOL Holly's Ric
