Fast growing, full shade vine
Comments (1)Most any vine will grow in full shade but they just won't flower well in shade. Here are three hardy vines that flower but they may not flower much in shade: Trumpet creeper, Clematis, Climbing Hydrangea. The Hydrangea may be the best choice for blooms.

Comments (2)There aren't many vines that will flower in full shade. The best flowering perennial, hardy, vine for full shade is generally considered to be the climbing hydrangea. Often slow to get started but will get quite large once it gets going....like up over the roof of a house. Can be grown on the north side of a house. If it is competing with trees you will want to make sure it is getting enough water. Expect at least 3 years before it flowers....See Moreperennial vine for part shade to full shade?
Comments (1)If you search for Trumpet Vine on these forums you'll find a LOT of reasons not to plant it. I planted some and after reading on the forums pulled it up and burned it! Apparently, it won't bloom unless it has full sun and is so invasive it'll take over your yard and eat anything in it's path. You could try honeysuckle, although it won't be evergreen. Virginia Creeper is nice, but doesn't flower. Ivy can be quite invasive too, but I hear the varigated ones are better than the standard English Ivy. Again, no blooms, but that one is at least evergreen. Dutchman's pipe? Not sure if it'll be perenial where you are....See MoreEvergreen climbing vine for Zone 10, Shade...stumped
Comments (1)As great looking as a climbing Hydrangea is, it's deciduous, so by your own desires that won't work out for you. Clematis is a big family, and there's both quite a few deciduous varieties, and also a few evergreen ones. The evergreen ones should be okay if they're getting enough filtered light, but probably won't make it OR be really thin if it's too much shade. I'm not sure how big that Jasmine will get in your zone, I'm used to it being a borderline hardly shrubby vine here in zone 7. And Ivy is ivy and I personally think any of the above would be a better choice....See Morevroomp
