This is a lovely vine. I would love to have this in my garden. How can I purchase this?

I have just built a pergola over a section of a rear deck. I am researching vines to complete the "roof". The vine will have to live in a large container, climb up a 10' post and cover a 10'*20' area. It will get @ 8 hours of sun. I live in Washington, DC. Would Bignonia capreolata "jekyll" be a good option for me?

Capemanx: Yes! These flower/vines grow like mad on the house we rent in Brewster. They are beautiful and attract lots of hummingbirds.

I was just admiring these pictures and wondering if this vine is as woody as a trumpet vine. By that I mean do they develop a large woody trunk at their base or do they stay relatively green more like the clematis? I'm in the Hudson Valley, NY.
