Default Plants for Trellis

Hello everyone,

I've just joined and I'm hoping that someone out there will be able to
help us.

I've recently erected a sturdy trellis above the dividing wall between
my neighbours and our rear yards. I am desperate to find something to
grow up and along the trellis which will:

1) Grow very quickly
2) Provide dense coverage all year round (we don't get on with our
neighbours I'm afriad)
3) Still provide colour and ideally something that flowers
4) Will grow in containers (my back yard is concreted)

Does anyone have any ideas? If so, I'd really appreciate it if you'd
share them. I have attached a picture.

I've never grown anything so I'm only learning. I've got as far as ivy
and clematis (montana, armandii) but although I read that these can
grow big, I don't know how fast they grow. I don't care about
maintenance, we just want to screen our yard from next door as soon
as possible.


It would help if you told us where you are and what the climate is.

David
