Ivy or climbing hydrangea. Both easy to control. CH won’t climb if it faces south

Morning glory

Trumpet honeysuckle would be native to eastern coast.

Yellow for most of SE USA and central/southern USA.

Orange or Western Trumpet for western USA.

Main one to avoid is the Asian/Japanese one.

Native honeysuckle is good.

Virginia creeper is easy/aggressive.

There’s a star jasmine variety that’s hardy enough to grow here. Madison, I think. Some president.

We’ve got a small section of chainlink fence in our backyard along cement steps that lead out of our basement and separates our rowhouse from the one next door. Elsewhere there are nice wooden fences in our yard and hers. Not sure why this relic was left. We’re not sure whose property it is, but the neighbor is fine with sprucing it up. We have a couple options: either build a short wooden fence that would match with the neighbor put in. Or maybe, as a short-term solution, find some kind of greenery to cover it up. It’s not a terribly long section of fence; maybe about 5 feet long and probably about 3 feet high. Some type of vine or greenery that would climb would be ideal. It could really soften that space, cover the fence, and add some color. and I would not want to build anything much higher because it does get good morning light that streams into the door of our finished basement. Thoughts?
