Default Growing moss etc on galvanized fence

We are having to install a new security fencing around our allotment.

Its very bright shiny galvanized finish is a bit overpowering. Is there
any way to encourage moss etc to grow on it to get it to blend in more?


After 20 years, my side gate has plenty of green growth on it, except
for on the unpainted galvanised fittings, so I suspect not. It will
weather to a dull grey fairly quickly, but you could tie windbreak
material to it if you want to disguise it.
