Greetings! I am excited to find this form, as my research is stumping me... I live in Columbus, near main campus actually. I am looking for a vertical, relatively fast-growing climbing vine (or vines that may play well together). I would prefer semi-evergreen or even evergreen if possible, though I know that is less likely. The problem: My partner is a climber and has built a massive outdoor bouldering wall in our backyard... It is has two opposing sloping sides that meet at a point (the climbing wall being on the interior/underside. We want to beautify the exterior, and I had the idea of attaching lattice or some kind of support structure to the exterior to see if we can start a "living wall" up each side. My preferences/wishlist: - I DO NOT WANT ivy, wintercreeper, or anything that may be invasive or create problems. - Evergreen or semi-evergreen would be a plus. - Something flowering or with seasonal color would be a plus. - Fast-growing and/or low maintenance also a plus. Some ideas I found as supposedly "semi-evergreen" for zone 6 in my research include: - Tangerine Beauty Crossvine (zone 6 hardy and semi-evergreen but I wonder how accurate that is) - Cold hardy Winter jasmine??? (I keep reading zone 6 hardy but this seems unlikely, too) I am also considering (knowing they're not semi or evergreen): - Virgina Creeper for fall color - Sweet autumn clematis I would love it if you can: - Review and offer your thoughts on the above options - Suggest other ideas! - Let me know if there are any climbing vines that would pair well together, as I'd love to have a mix of tones/textures (but don't want one thing to overrun the other) Thank you so much!
