Yes. They'll grow rapidly and flower. They are an annual though and will die
off each year.

I'm planning the same thing, but just kind of decided on morning glories.
From what I've seen of them, it seems like they will do a decent job.
Yeah?

I have a 5 foot high chain link fence that I would like to plant some
kind
of ivy or something that will grow up the fence and give me some
privacy,
I would like it to stay green for as long as possible into the colder
months.
I live in the north east and I am not sure what to plant if anything.
Maybe something
that also will flower? Thank you for any info.
