Quickest growing creepers?

[Tigerlion]

We have had a massive drainpipe put at the front of the house. I would like to cover it. What is a very quick-growing creeper that looks nice at the same time?

I think all the really quick-growing ones are deciduous. Some ivies grow quite quickly so they are probably your best bet.

You could get something like a well-grown clematis montana which grows quickly and grow it together with an anual creeper so it's pretty established in autumn when the anual dies back.

You might not want ivy actually growing up your house. It can interfere with brickwork.

White flowering Solanum is semi evergreen (prob evergreen grown against a wall) and will cover your drainpipe, but it does need some sun to flower and you will need to put up some supports as it doesnt self cling.

Otherwise Parthenoicissus henryana is a good bet and self clinging (but is deciduous).
Grow in sun or shade

Mile a minute (does what it says on the tin) or a Russian Vine.
