hawkeye_daddy said: What about a tecoma? My experience with that is potted, of course. I have seen them in the ground in Idaho, and they were a nice manageable size there. I believe it is a relative of trumpet vine. Regular trumpet vine is a thug. If you decide to go ahead and try it, you might want to plant it inside some sort of barrier, like they do with running bamboo.
According to the database, regular trumpet vine is not evergreen, but tecoma is. However, the database also classifies tecoma as a shrub. I would say that the old growth is shrub-like, but the new growth is more vine-like.
