There are many lovely vines you could use. If you want a fast-growing annual vine that would bloom repeatedly throughout the summer, you could try any of these: Morning Glory, many named varieties, fast grower, morning blooms Moonflower, fast grower, heart-shaped leaves, large white flowers that open in the evenings, lovely fragrance; starts bloomin in mid-summer You could plant moonflowers and morning glories on the same trellis, and have blooms in the morning and in the evening. Cardinal Climber Cypress Vine Purple Hyacinth Bean Vine Black-Eyed Susan Vine Scarlet Runner Bean Vine, fast grower but can balk at high heat Mina Lobata--can be hard to germinate, but then grows quickly and has lovely flowers Cathedral Bells aka Cup-and-Saucer VIne If you want a perennial vine that will return every year: American Crossvine--lovely, tough, fast-grower, loved by Hummingbirds Sweet Autumn Clematis--sort of slow the first year, but will reward you forever after with lovely, sweet-scented blooms in August when you really need something lovely in the garden. Likes shady feet and at least partial sun. Worth trying again. Once established it is very tough. Clematis--there are many lovely clematis vines that have beautiful blooms, but you will need to do careful research to find one that can survive our summers Wisteria--fast grower, but doesn't know when to stop, and this vine is a monster, so be sure you really, really want it because once you have it, you can't get rid of it easily Trumpet Creeper, Madame Galens--One very fast-growing, very tough vine. Orange tubular flowers. Sometimes this can be invasive, so again, be sure you really want it. If you plant one, be SURE it is a named hybrid as they are much less likely to become invasive. There is a yellow-flowered version called 'Flava'. I grow them both on a trellis and they have not been invasive for me. Honeysuckle, Coral--a hummingbird magnet. This is the well-behave American native (Lonicera sempervirens) and not the invasive Japanese Honeysuckle. Lonicera heckrottii--a couple of the named varieties are 'Goldflame' and 'Pink Lemonade' Boston Ivy English Ivy Silverlace Vine and Climbing Hydrangea can be slow to get established. Passionflower Dutchman's Pipe Climbing Roses There are many others, but these are some of the more common ones. Air Potato Vine is an old passalong plant that is very fast growing but is hard to find in nurseries. Coral Vine/Queen's Wreath is only reliably hardy to zone 8 but is a beautiful fast-grower. IT will have tip damage at 32 degrees and will freeze to the ground if temps hit the mid to low 20s, but it is gorgeous. Dawn

Carolina Jessamine grows fast and has good coverage and is evergreen. It puts on nice bright yellow flowers in early spring. They can get quite large but are easy to prune. Sometimes they need some help with going in the right direction so some twine may be in order until they get a foot hold.

Clematis do take a couple years to peak and they don't bloom all summer, but when they do bloom they are lovely. If you want a annual then grow some morning glories. I do both on the same trellis. When the clematis stops blooming the morning glories start.

Chloe, I'm about 18 miles from the coast. I have two white Bower vines, which I planted in early May. One is against the wall I'm trying to hide, receiving about 3 hours of sun a day, the other one is against a wall that gets sun all morning until about 2:00 PM. Both vines are growing pretty much at the same rate and both survived the 115F heatwave we've got a few weeks ago with almost no damage. They have grown by a third, I would say since May. I don't know if that's considered fast growing. I've been given them SuperThrive every couple of weeks and watch their leaves closely (I find that's a good too-much-too-little-water indicator. I've also planted oleanders in the same areas (sunny and not as sunny) and they are growing at different rates. The ones receiving less sun seem to be growing slower than the others but they all have flowers. I guess I could plant more oleanders and Bower vines but I think I'd like a bit more variety. Been reading about pink trumpet vine. It's lovely and does tolerate partial shade and it's a fast grower. A good candidate, I guess. A volunteer Cape honeysuckle is growing outside the backyard fence. That plant is amazing. It can grow in such harsh conditions. Full sun all day and almost no water. About the wisteria, there's the Chinese variety that grows very fast but I've been told not to use it near buildings because of how uncontrollable it normally gets. And the potato vine I purchased and planted in late spring was decimated by some nasty caterpillar. I tried everything (sprays, powders, store-bought and homemade) and nothing. The vine was growing gloriously. It hadn't produced any flowers but the foliage was splendid and then, almost overnight, most of its leaves had been completely chewed up.
