(just trying to save money for you...LOL) While what I am going to suggest seldom flowers, it is lush green all year long, will cling to the chain link, form a beautiful fence covering, and can easily be snipped back into shape or allowed to grow as it will. A nice evergreen with shiny foliage. It is very easy to propagate, so a snip can be stuck directly into the ground and will also root. We have had ours growing since we moved in, and only when I was in the mood to tidy it up have I had to do anything with it. On occasion a long strand will get into the way of the gate, but is easily snipped off with scissors or garden shears. What am I talking about, you ask? Euonymous fortunei. Wintercreeper. Each year I ask myself why I don't plant more of it. :-) Crisp, clean, I have to ask myself when the last time was I watered it. |
