Would flowers March to May be out of the equation FlyDragon?
If you want quick growth, evergreen, very fragrant blooms and fluffy Autumn seedheads then Clematis Armandii would fit the bill (perhaps with a Summer climbing annual like Nasturtium, Thunbergia etc sharing the container just for the May -July flowers).
I did think of Armandii, but March and April I've got lots of other things flowering and its the May/June time that needs something non purple! Its a lovely looking plant though.
I learned last year that Thunbergia doesn't like to share, it took over and killed the clematis I put in in with.
Next year I will definitely start my nasturtiums earlier so that they are flowering sooner.
@Fairygirl Attagirl! Keep fighting the clematis corner Or how about something a little more viticella-ish like huldine? If you choose an earlier flowered variety you might have a month or two gap in midsummer, but a viticella would flower pretty much right through (albeit starting possibly a couple of weeks laterl
I have a combo of climbing Hydrangea x petiolaris that rubs along happily with a Lonicera japonica. The H. petiolaris is just in bloom now with pretty white lace flowers that last all summer and the seedheads are pretty too; the honeysuckle has loads of buds which should open next month. This is a north facing wall. (Perfume from is always amazing at night through summer). MLx
