First year Tangutica (prune) & Montana Rubens (which you don't prune & flowers only once but would provide good shade & the foliage is the prettiest I've seen)) are going crazy at my house. My pergola is covered! But the best right now for me is the moon vine. Aaaah the smell. and the hummingbird moths! I find annuals really fill that height & breadth gap for first year clematis growers. I would put a clematis or TWO there for sure, but supplement with the glorious annuals like rare Japanese Morning glories until the clematis get where you want them. Vertical gardening rocks!
