I saw parthenocissus green spring somewhere. Is this evergreen and will it climb a wall without support. I did google but got conflicting views.

I have an ugly wall that needs evergreen cover quickly

No its decideous and clings to walls windows with small sucker pads it will also grow along the ground and into and around everything else needs to be controled.

Most climbers take a life time to cover a wall. Other than ivy your options are limited.

If its a sunny location i like the star jasmine - Trachelosperum jasminoides, its evergreen, is self clinging, but can be slow to grow.

The potato vine - semi- evergreen, wont cling but will grow fast, is another option

Planting both together would provide suitable cover after a year of 2.

If Its a shady location, maybe plant the evergreen clematis montana, Hydrangea anomala and your boston ivy.
