Tips for growing Anisodontea capensis
Not a plant I have tried, but might be worth a chance outside in a well drained micro climate. I'd be trying some cuttings to overwinter, should the mother plant croak in winter next year.

The idea is to hide the wall but also have a higher boundary. So something 1-1.5m tall would be good. I went out and measured last night and goes from about 27cm wide and gradually tapers up towards the top of the drive to about 17cm. I don't think these numbers change the game though.
