never mind, I began to picture honeysuckle vines and decided it would get WAY too big.Wish we could delete posts before there was a response. Oh well..

Consider Wisteria frutescens (native Wisteria), it isn't nearly as aggressive as the Asian types.

There are several types of honeysuckle. The Japanese type can get out of control, at least that is what I've read here in some of the posts.

But the coral honeysuckle gets a lot of good press here. Doesn't grow quite as rampant which can be a good thing. You might want to check it out. I've decided to include it in my plans. My driveway is very narrow so I'm not sure yet of all the details but seems like some nice vertical vines would be a good thing.

Coral honeysuckle is native here, and the hummingbirds love it. I've had mine for quite a few years--at a guess, ten or fifteen--and it's still no more than five or six feet I think on a fairly low fence. Really looks nice, except when the @#$%^&* Japanese one that comes from all over uninvited tries to take it over. Only good thing the Japanese kind has that it doesn't is fragrance. But it's evergreen, and blooms a really long time, and doesn't take over, and comes in a range of colors from yellow to coral to red-orange to almost true red.

You might consider Cape Honeysuckle. It is very pretty, but can get very large, i.e. 8' to 10'. The hummingbirds love it.

I found an interesting comment about Cape Honeysuckle on davesgarden. I thought the part about it being able to be trained into a tree shape sounded like something I would like.

Comments:
It is a mistake, I think, to believe that this plant (Tecomaria sp.) is truly a honeysuckle (Lonicera sp.). It has the common name of Cape Honeysuckle only because the flowers somewhat resemble a honeysuckle blossom, but the Cape Honesuckle is more of a hard stemmed, non-twining shrub. It can be pruned to a tree-like shape as it matures.

I also found in the databse on Daves Garden where it appears that Coral Honeysuckle does need to be watered but Cape Honeysuckle can be a xeriscape plant.

Since our soil is gumbo and adjacent to a neighbor who likes to freely run their automated irrigation system, keeping our adjacent soil quite damp ( and inhibiting the flowering on her own climbing rose and bougainvillea), I think I may go with the Coral Honeysuckle.

Hope this helps.
