Which way does it face? South, north?

Campsis? Once it's established it's quite rampant I think.

Im just about to plant a climbing hydrangea at the front of my house ( north facing ) it can take 2 or 3 years to flower but once its established your patience will be well rewarded, they grow in any aspect but need a free draining soil, they are also self clinging and support themselves. Hassle free and very rewarding to grow.

Hope this helps,

Paul
