Evergreen vines in Central Texas (Zone 8)

I am attempting to cover a wire fence around the back garden and want something that will stay leafed out all year to hide a neighbor's REALLY ugly goat pen. Was wanting something different than Carolina Jasemine..........the landscaper didn't do as asked so I have a couple of wisteria plants that are thriving (but which will go bare come winter) and a butterfly vine that is slowly getting larger. He planted a couple of passion flowers and they have each sent out one long shoot to the top of the fence and have even flowered but are really looking scraggley about now. It's hot as the hinges of hell so that's probably why. Anyone have any suggestions for some fast growing evergreen vines............and flowers would be nice. Help! Please!

Hmmm...
I think your best choice is Crossvine, which I noticed you mentioned in another post. It is semi-evergreen for me, but once it got thick, losing a few leaves in the winter would not subtract from blocking the view. Besides that:
Coral honeysuckle, but it's slow until established.
English Ivy, but it does not really climb unless trained up.
Creeping Fig - it will grow fast and thick, but it is also invasive and the suckers do damage.

Thanks sweezel, I always want something exotic that won't grow but I don't think this is the time to experiment or I'll have to look at that rusty old car, etc that much longer..........is Creeping Fig the same thing as Fig Ivy?

Thanks ever so much

Yep, one in the same. Yeah, I would experiment with some smaller area that is less important. I am the same way. I want to experiment with lots of different Clematis, Passion Vines, and Thunbergias, but I bought Crossvine for the vertical expanse of next to my garage and over it.

Welcome to Dave's by the way!

Hello, fellow Texans. Masonmaven, you might consider euonymus fortunei 'coloratus'. It is evergreen (green in summer/purple in winter), a vigorous grower, a clinging climber, fairly pest/disease-free, and attractive. It's so easy to propogate by cuttings, you could cover your whole neighborhood with just a few little plants. The flowers, if it flowers at all, are inconspicuous, but the full-time pretty foliage makes up for that, IMO.
