Fast growing vine type plant?

My girlfriend and I are trying to find the fastest growing vine type plant to grow up a trellis. We have a nosey older woman for a neighbor and we're trying to block her view. So we need something that grows quickly, something that has thick foliage. We live in Northern indiana and the plant would be getting full sun where it will be planted. Since we have pretty bad soil we were going to plant it in a large flower box with some really good planting soil to help it's fast growth. Any help or helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Morning Glories! Fast, thick and nothing kills them!


Oh and the come back forever,,,,,,,,,,and ever,,,,and ever!
Reply:HOPS grows FAST AND THICK and the leaves are quite pretty! You don't even need that great of soil either. They will come back every year, and wont invade your lawn.

You can either leave the hops (fruit) on the plant or pinch them off.


HAPPY PLANTING!





***EDIT***


Here is a website that has them in stock!

ALSO-- your local nursery will have them if they are a pretty good sized nursery.


Good Luck!
Reply:I live in Northern IN too! I have had good luck with ivy, there are many varieties. i have the best luck buying plants from a local garden shop that grows their plants locally. Luck E
Reply:I defintely would not recommend morning glory since it really is more like a weed. It will spread like wildfire and choke your other plants, and you'll never, EVER get rid of it!
