Holly hocks will do great. Morning glories and sunflowers might be OK, but
will probably have to be reseeded each spring. Bamboo was too invasive for
me. You might try blackberries or raspberries, but they too are invasive
(on both sides of the fence).

Hi all,

I could use some plant recommendations for a strip of soil I have that
runs along my neighbour's ugly fence.

I'd like some tall plants that return every year that will cover up the
fence or hide part of the fence.

Preferably, these would be fast growing and relatively easy to acquire.

I currently have clematis growing up a portion of it which is ok....and
tons of daylillies, but these are low growing.

I was thinking bamboo? *grin* I am in Zone 5, maybe 6?

Any other thoughts?

Sally
