Hydrangea

Very pretty, but looks like it would get bushy rather than cling flat
to the wall.


I think Charlie probably meant Climbing Hydrangea. A different thing
from the nomral Hydrangea

Ah.....(Google....).....

So - would they fight if I alternated the fence bays with a Climbing
Hydrangea and an Ivy ?

Hold on a mo' - what about Wisteria for this job? Or even a mix of Ivy,
Hydrangea and Wisteria?

I hope you have time to wait ...

Patience is a virtue!

Mind you, an Ivy would cover the wall fiarly quickly,

Not necessarily, see Andy's post.

but would it then prevent somethig slower growing from climbing through
it, or could the two co-exist peacefully ? I presume the Ivy would
strangle anything else?

I can't see why it should!
