Default Evergreen climber to cover a west facing wall in zone 9

Hi,

I forgot to mention that I live half way between San Francisco and San
Jose, a small town called Los Altos in the Silicon Valley. No snow
here at all, in winter, the coldest would be about 20 deg for a few
days, and winter average out to about 30-40 deg.

Hi,

A newbie question:

I have a two story home, the west facing side is very ugly, pipes
etc., I would like to plant some dense evergreen climber to cover this
wall, I live in San Francisco Bay Area. Any suggestions?

Thanks
Just


Since SF gets snow, it's going to be hard to find an evergreen
climber. However, I think you'd find that the pattern that
dormant vines make can also be quite effective at screening. I
suggest passionflower or clematis.
