    Variegated ivy provides good coverage and is 'evergreen". I have some disguising an IBC tank and it does the job well.

    I also have stuff called Cissus Striata, evergreen, fast growing, easy to trim and doesn't spread everywhere like ivy eventually. I spent the summer pulling out ivy from between and behind every hedge I have, would never plant it again!

    Ivy i find is a curse maybe because its wild and covered in bugs that leave you scratching your hands at night time and slug hotel

    I planted a passiflora caerulea about 2 months ago. It is leaping out of the ground now. Growing a few cms every few days.
