Plant Suitable For Screening

[Ric.ror]

What plant would be suitable to grow against a trestle fencing - preferable something fragrant to hide and disguise the smell from next doors dogs?
I am thinking maybe a screen of jasmin but would it come year after year?
The spot is in full sun and would need to be quick growing
Many many thanks

Sweet peas

[Tilly2]

Don't put in jasmine. It's a pain. It grows all over the place. Perhaps a fragrant climbing rose. Sweet peas would be nice too. I agree with Manjo.

Runner beans will work also.

What about honeysuckle? Or clematis?

[Tilly2]

Honeysuckle will not like the full sun, I don't think.

If you're brave you could give Russian vine a go. Beware, it grows like a Triffid!

Climbing Hydrangea is very fast growing, lush green from early spring, but not evergreen. There are a couple of varieties with good scent.
Flowering Currants are good for rapid growth.
Clematis Montana, again for fast growth.
A lovely unusual fast growing tree is 'Katsura Japonica' or candy floss tree - Gives off a burnt sugar scent in the summer and can be easily trained to grow outwards rather than up (i have one and it is lovely - bought from ebay a few years ago)

You could plant a fast screener, then put a fragrant smaller shrub at the bottom for the scent?

Avoid Dogwood and chilean glory vines like the plague as they will take over and grow round next doors dogs if they stand still long enough :)

Also - Twisted willow tree's for extremely rapid growth, but needs a very stern haircut each autumn to keep it check.

[Tilly2]

Why are next door's dogs so smelly? I ask myself.

[Peaspeculiars]

sorry, I know I keep answering but have just looked out of the window and spotted the 'Perennial Sunflower' just sprouting again - comes back each year with an abundance of lovely yellow flowers like rudbekia types reaching approx 6ft tall and spread nicely in a border - die back in late october (cut down to ground level) They might be the perfect answer (faint scent)(could co-plant with sweetpeas to crawl up their stems?)

[Peaspeculiars]

They probably ate the last fence Tilly ;)

[Ric.ror]

Tilly - they use it as a toilet and it gets left there.

[Tilly2]

Aw, Ric, that's horrible for you........and them.

[Tilly2]

Have you contacted Environmental Health?

[EcclesCake]

Having asked a similar question yesterday I'm appreciating the answers here and taking note.

Honeysuckle and Jasmine would certainly help mask the smell Ric.

[Peaspeculiars]

Eccles, didn't spot your thread, but here's a couple more for you - both climbers, evergreen and grow at approx the same rate/ could co-habit. One is scented...

Your all brilliant
I quite fancy honeysuckle and jasmine maybe wrapped around sunflowers that's such a lovely image
I have a huge hyderanger that hopefully will flower this year and two newish smaller ones down the drive
I also have lots of fruit bushes I planted this year (thank you pound world) that are just budding now, and a windowsill full of herbs and cherry tomatoes just sprouting
As you can tell I'm a bit pleased with myself

[Ric.ror]

Tilly - if we have a warm summer I just might consider that
I feel a bit sneaky but it's not necessary at all
There only young and she doesn't work

[EcclesCake]

peas, they are brilliant suggestions. The colours compliment what we already have growing and the compatible growth rate is what I was really trying to achieve.

Thank you.

[Peaspeculiars]

No Worries Eccles :0)

Ric - After a year of them being in the border I have only just told my OH what the giant plants are which are going to flower this year, (I'm dead pleased with myself that they made it through the winter) they will be:
Echium Pininana (Blue Church steeple plants) and will look like this hopefully:

He's only just recovering from finding out about the Gunnera ;-)
