Hi,

I've just put up 3 6x6' trellis pannels and would like to now try to cover
it! What is the fastest growing climber that is pretty but must be rampent.

we have thought about ivy, but are there any other suggestions, I'd like
some colour there.

as no-one else has suggested it, and it is a favourite of mine,
lupulus humulus 'Aureus'. Beutiful acid-green leaves bourne on red
stems in summer, hops in autumn, dies back to the ground in winter so
you can maintain the trellis. Mine are at 6 ft. at the moment and
growing (it seems) 4-6 inches a day.
