I am in MI, zone...6? I think? My neighbors house is an eyesore. I want to put up 8ft trellises, and then obviously, plant something vining that stays green for all or most of the year. A big request for my zone, I know. Although, I could be happy with something that lasted until late fall, and started greening up in the early spring. I want something low maint. that I don't have to worry about cutting special so that the bottom of it doesn't become sparse. There isnt going to be alot of horizontal room for anything to bush out much (only 2ft. of width to play with, a bit less than that in some spots), so it has to be a good tight climber. I don't care if it flowers or not.
Suggestions?
