I have a cinder block wall that I need to cover...?

Hey guys, I have a HORRIBLY ugly umm approxiamately 3 foot tall cinder block retaining wall acroos the front of my lawn. I have decided to use a vine of some kind to cover it, instead of painting it, or veneering it with some crazy crap. It would just be tacky then. BUT!, I cant decide what to cover it in...I have english ivy that grows on a fence and has been growing on the brick of my house. I thought I could just take some of that and get it to root inside an replant it. Wonder if that would work? Do you all have any suggestions for a vine type plant for cover. HERES THE DEAL THOUGH...It would have to grow down the wall, not up! The wall is the end of the yard, and then there is the lovely sidewalk. We do have some established plants such as creping phlox and burberry bushes and such, WHICH I LOVE! I dont have any problem pruning, as I am always pulling weeds, planting flowers, or lord knows with the landscaping. I need some ideas people...help me out..I am in zone 7!

you could try creeping fig...or use the ivy. the ivy will root if you cut some off and stick it in the ground. The rule of thumb is first year a sleeper, second year a creeper, third year a leaper - so don%26#039;t expect it to be an immediate fix.





hope this helps
Reply:you could try a honey suckle vine, they have nice drape, i.e. they would hang down over the wall.





Ivey roots really easily, if you decide to take that route, just pull out a few long runners and tuck them in the soil and they%26#039;ll grow.

Reply:I like option two, i think it would be a lot nicer if you got something that flowered
