Why not describe the requirement more precisely? This group can
recommend much more interesting things that cover fences nearly as
fast. You should provide the size of the fence (length and height),
aspect (facing south or whatever), roughly the type of soil, whether
you object to the cover taking over the rest of your garden, and
whether you would like flowers, fruit, birds or what.

I understand it's called polygonum aubertii. I've seen it on fences
while travelling through Teesdale and did once stop the car to ask a
householder there where she got hers, but she said she'd inherited it.
It looked lovely and I'd like some for my fence. It's south-facing,
roughly five foot high and twenty-five foot long. If you think it will
be invasive, then maybe you could suggest something similar i.e. that
totally covers the fence and produces flowers of some kind. The
Russian vine I saw produced tiny white flowers and looked quite
stunning when in full bloom.

many thanks,
