0	Cotoneaster, Carolina Jessamine and Trumpet Vine will all grow in hot places providing they are not directly against the block wall (which can radiate too much heat). If you provide a trellis about a foot in front of the wall so there's good air circulation, these, plus Lilac Vine (Hardenbergia violacea), will perform well in your landscape.
