Ok, I'm being self-indulgent and asking two questions in this forum in the same day. I really, really need to find a vine that makes me happy for my porch/yard/fenced-in-condo yard thing.

I tried Madison Jasmine, but it never took off, even after the second year, and this year it all died from the winter ice and snow. It was covered in powder mold, and all the leaves turned red and fell off. It was expensive for me to buy and I'm sad that I wasted my money only to have scraggly ugly plants that died. So... I need something else - let me tell you about my dream vine, and then you can give me some realistic suggestions (if you would be so kind).

The magic vine - A perennial that would grow in a humid, part shade area (shown in pic) against a fence in clayish soil that gets good moisture. In a perfect world it would stay evergreen but I'd accept something that re-densifies well on old growth or dies to the ground (so I can scrap all the hideous bare tendrils). If it has flowers - I'd be in love, but lovely foliage would be fine. I want something thick, and vigorous.

I would happily string up fishing line for it to climb, but it can't be something that will cling to the fence and badly damage/split it (as I hear english ivy's do). There is now worry about invasiveness because it will be growing in a plot surrounded by pavers (though there is plenty of root room under those). The vine would get good sun at it's top when it reaches the top of the fence, and have shaded roots.

Worst case, I'll give and buy mandevillas (they did VERY well back there) , but I'm one of the broke gardeners that tries to take clippings and baby them all winter, just because I don't have the money to buy new plants.

In the pictures you can see the space from last year. I want to plant one in the corner behind the fire pit turned planter(you can see the jasmine climbing when it looked ok), and one where you see the purple butterfly bush (which I moved to elsewhere). Hopefully the two vines would meet in the middle.

Dutchman's pipe maybe because it's native? Clematis for the flowers? Morning Glories (I'm going to grow those outside the fence this year and see how they do)?

Your help is so appreciated, I've been mulling over this all winter and spent hours researching only to have no realist idea what will thrive there!
