I've got a 6 foot tall wooden fence along my back yard that I would like to beautify with a little greenery. Any recommendations for something vine-like to start covering the fence wall?

Is clematis or wisteria a good option?

Doesn't it have a slow growth rate?

Honeysuckle if you wanna attract wildlife. And it smells really good.

Don't plant wisteria, you will end up with it in every bush, on every fence, and anywhere else a bird might stop and poop.

My neighbor planted it on her fence and I am constantly removing it from all my bushes and other fences.
