Pretty much every backyard has a fence. They’re functional, but rarely beautiful. We can certainly think of many more aesthetically pleasing elements of a backyard. So if you’re searching for a plant to hide an ugly fence, we get it. After all, life’s too short to spend looking onto an expanse of dreary grey-brown panels.
There are hundreds of excellent plant options to cover an ugly fence fast. And spring is one of the best times of the year to shop and plant all manner of climbers, shrubs, trees and perennials. The sun is starting to warm up the soil, nicely watered by winter rains, so your new additions will settle in quickly, sending their roots down deep and establishing themselves with ease, in readiness for a year of growth and, hopefully, flowers to delight you and your backyard wildlife.
