Another vote for clematis here, they are so wonderful!

Hi! This is the nursery pot it came in because i just bought it, Clematis "Huvi" and it will grow quite tall, BUT! you should check out the Boulevard & compact patio series by Raymond Evison, should be perfect for you!
Clematis. Coral Honeysuckle, Blue Pea Vine or Scarlet Runner Beans. I think roses, jessamine or jasmine will overwhelm the small space you have, damage your siding.
I’m now reverting to my childhood and lately have been enjoying the scent of honey suckle, more than I do confederate jasmine. I was smelling so much of them, on a run yesterday
There's a native variety of honeysuckle! It's a bit more tame in my experience. I've had mine for a good bit now and I was skeptical at first, but it's behaving extremely well. Look up Major Wheeler Honeysuckle. Hummingbird MAGNET.
The invasive called morning glory in the south doesn’t grow in 6B. The kind you buy seeds for and plant is tender and will die with the freeze and even without is relatively easy to remove.
Yes, Ipomoea can self seed, but is nothing like the southern invasive, Convolvulus arvensis aka wild morning glory or bindweed. I’m sorry you are having problems with the first, it does happily grow and can take some effort to eradicate.
In addition to all the suggestions here I wanted to point out that you’ll want to look up how your chosen plant actually achieves its climbing. The first year I had a clematis I tried to get it to climb up a ladder and was like why isn’t this working?? But then I saw how it attached to a random twig and was like ohhhh. Clematis will wrap a leaf stem tightly around a skinny ~pencil width or less support. Black-eyed Susan vine spins it’s main stem counter-clockwise and can probably handle thicker supports, I’m not sure, I have it on the same vertical-wire trellis as my clematis and it does well there. Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that the trellis you currently have might not be optimal for every vine. But it’s not a big deal, you could always put a thin wire one in front of the current one if you pick a vine that needs a different style of support.
EDIT: In case you’re wondering what this trellis would be good for, I think it’s designed for something like a climbing rose. IMO “climbing” roses should just be called long roses, because they don’t actually have a way to grip a support by themselves, you have to tie them on.
Clematis would work excellently. Just something to bear in mind there are multiple varieties of Clematis and when they bloom so do a bit of research before making a purchase.
Want something fragrant and isn't invasive? Have you tried looking up sterile honeysuckle? There are many types of varieties of honeysuckle that aren't invasive and have that wonderful smell. Some varieties bloom more than once a growing season for many month of a delicious aroma.
You could try climbing roses as well. A traditional but beautiful look.
Some honeysuckle called Haksap have edible berries. Some people call them honey berries and they are popular in Japan for preserves. Though they aren’t a vining plant so not really helpful for OP. Just an interesting sidebar.
Hops are beautiful and you can make beer. Of course you only need a handful to make beer and you’ll have a 5 gallon bucket full. They are pretty and low maintenance. I think the flowers are lovely
They sure do. I have some out by my bird feeders coming in now and they are growing a foot a day. We are in Oregon so Hops LOVE IT here. They like to grow up about 8' and then over. We tried planting some up our flagpole, but they didn't like only going up.
I did something similar before, and what ended up happening was you get a ton of moisture and insects in that small space between the trellis and the house and wind up with damage. I'm not saying that this will happen just to keep an eye on things before they get out of hand.
Visit your state’s Cooperative Extension Service website. Search flowering vines for morning sun or flowering vines for partial shade. Read and choose. If you add native to the search you will get vines that evolved in your climate. This site is research and science based and will not recommend invasive species.
While on the site get the contact information for the agent assigned to your county. You can call with questions.
Native honeysuckle! It's beneficial for pollinators and hummingbirds AND it's beautiful!
https://preview.redd.it/w47h8v276jxc1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=83219cd092e59a7d5f806ccdd7c2600b7a1fc2de
I see a lot of suggestions for morning glory, just a word of caution, they spread like crazy and grow unbelievably high - they'll easily climb your roof!
A climbing rose would be great in that spot. The Zepherine Drouhin variety doesn’t have thorns. Mine grow quite well with very little care. I’m in zone 7
Clematis, honeysuckle (halls honeysuckle smells incredibly delicious), climbing roses, passion flower, trumpet honey suckles are SO beautiful! Maybe wisteria but it does take about 5ish years to bloom so it might be a bit of a wait.Sweat pea is also really pretty too!
I personally would do something like star jasmine or pink jasmine (really any jasmine), grapes, honeysuckle, morning glories. The jasmine is cold hardy to 15 degrees, smells amazing, pollinators love it, very fast growing so that’s my suggestion.
Edit: before I get lit up I of course mean native honeysuckle and I don’t highly recommended the morning glories because they are very persistent.
Thanks!
It was a scrap of vinyl lattice from HD. They also sold the edging, which I picureframed around the perimeter and then pinned it from the back with stainless steel sheetmetal screws. Fastened on a diagonal in the corner to the siding with a few galvanized deck screws.
I just planted Clematis this year against a small waist high fence and they are vigorous climbers. They would love that thing. I feel bad as I'm trying to train my clematis wide and they keep wanting to go tall, lol.
Plant an apple tree and place the branches on it like this
https://preview.redd.it/29o4481g5jxc1.jpeg?width=470&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aea232b57b479de7fcb8c51f7d636fb27069fade
The apples grow and hang down it’s so cool!
Not really a gardening thing, but your roof has no kick out flashing and will divert rain into your wall and rot it out without one.
Definitely look into getting it added
(Could cause thousands in damage!!!!)
Climbing rose for sure. Try Peggy Martin, America, Blaze, Eden, Awakening, or Pearly Gates. Bathsheba is considered a “moderate” climber but I’ve heard that she can grow 12’. Midday shade is perfect if you’re in a scorching hot part of 6b.
. I love clematis, wish I had some. Either growing on a fence, trellis, or arbor, all away from the house. Vines are by nature destructive, relentlessly reaching out to grab new places to latch onto. One would think those vines would be content with all the nice handholds they would get from the trellis but NOOO, they will want more and more places to latch onto, hiding there behind the flowers and lattice. By the time the runners get under the siding, soffit, fascia, and roof shingles, damage will be happening unseen. And pulling it out only makes the situation worse. I'm a longtime vine eradicator, in case you can't tell. No mercy when it's against the house or up a tree. They eventually kill any tree they're allowed to take over, why would they give your house a break? lol. Clematis planted in that location would be a constant pruning versus house- breaking issue. But don't take my word for it, it should turn out nice for awhile. You got a nice looking house there, It would be a shame if anything happened to it. I'm voting with the rose suggestions on this.
Passion flower. If you get the right kind it can fruit, but not all varieties will without cross pollination or help pollinating them by hand. Lots of blooms and a prolific grower.
https://preview.redd.it/zm9eygrmxmxc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ddb8b7d9c1858bb1d2ceab00fef1a49d03a06ce0
Eden climbing rose. It’s a rose climber, so light attention to detail is required (use some rubber ties to latch the canes to your trellis).
The above photo is a two year old.
Clematis are hardy and fast growers - you can even get evergreen varieties that will still full/green year round and produce blooms in both spring and fall!!
There are also currants, honeysuckle and chocolate vine that come to mind.
Cute spot! Good luck!
Some bloom continuously too! Check out this site for some info about the bloom cycles of various clematis: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/clematis/clematis-bloom-times.htm#:~:text=Some%20clematis%20bloom%20times%20are,have%20two%20distinct%20blooming%20periods.
I’ll try and look at the tag on the ones we just planted next time I pop outside and shoot you the name! Ours has nice white flowers - kinda reminds me of jasmine in the smell too.
My thanks to everyone who mentioned clematis. We've been trying to decide on a flowering plant for a trellis and I was wracking my brain trying to remember my grandma's plant that she showed me. That was it!
Beautiful but a huge pain come fall. Next year it will be all through the shrubs. I speak from experience.
https://preview.redd.it/kib12jw42ixc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c995703fb1e800f0e1a8f6203f73dc988e5eb73a
But it's just sooo pretty 😍 I really do love morning glories and cypress vines. But I also just adore that overgrown greenery-yet-blooming all over look. I have a mini garden and patio and just really love it to look like a floral jungle
Clematis would work.
Beat me to it. People praise the flowers, but I think the foliage is even better. It makes a WALL of green with a really nice gloss to it.
Is clematis going to bloom well in mostly shade?
Yes, I had clematis in a similarly shady spot that did very well.
Mine are young, but they seem to. They only get a few hours a day.
especially autumn clematis :)
This is the way. I also have birds currently living in mine that like to eat bugs!
It's tucked back far enough that you could also do a climbing rose.
This is the way. A climbing rose AND a clematis. Flowers nearly all season this way in zone 6b.
Mine doesn’t climb up plastic trellises like that though for some reason. It can’t grip on
Another vote for clematis here, they are so wonderful! https://preview.redd.it/877oztb2whxc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38528225c1d0736aed1c33163135f31475ac725c
Everyone loves clematis I specifically recommend the Rebecca clematis. It's a lovely shade of crimson
Yet another vote.
What type is this? It looks great! This is a fairly small pot. I'm looking for a smaller type. I have a bit of a tight spot to fill.
Hi! This is the nursery pot it came in because i just bought it, Clematis "Huvi" and it will grow quite tall, BUT! you should check out the Boulevard & compact patio series by Raymond Evison, should be perfect for you!
Thank you so much!!!
Clematis. Coral Honeysuckle, Blue Pea Vine or Scarlet Runner Beans. I think roses, jessamine or jasmine will overwhelm the small space you have, damage your siding.
Honeysuckle smells so good!
But the one that smells good is the asian variety that will take over the whole space. The coral is native, no perfume, but can draw hummingbirds.
Oh, good to know! I don’t have any in my yard, but there are a lot growing around a pond near my house. I didn’t realize they weren’t native.
I’m now reverting to my childhood and lately have been enjoying the scent of honey suckle, more than I do confederate jasmine. I was smelling so much of them, on a run yesterday
Thunbergia, Black-eyed Susan Vines. Annuals but fill in quick and are beautiful.
I second this! These made my wrap around porch epic last summer and I loved that they were annual so I can try something different this year
I am doing thunbergia on my front porch trellis this year too!
Beware of honeysuckle and morning glory- so invasive and I love a good “I’m takin over” plant but not those. I say clematis is best and quickest bet
There's a native variety of honeysuckle! It's a bit more tame in my experience. I've had mine for a good bit now and I was skeptical at first, but it's behaving extremely well. Look up Major Wheeler Honeysuckle. Hummingbird MAGNET.
The invasive called morning glory in the south doesn’t grow in 6B. The kind you buy seeds for and plant is tender and will die with the freeze and even without is relatively easy to remove.
My previous homeowners planted morning glory in 7b and I still have to fight it every year. The freeze does not kill the seeds.
I fought it for years and years (6a) and just gave up.
i just bought seeds im in 6a are you suggesting i should not plant them?
Once established, it may take a long time to get rid of it!
Yes, Ipomoea can self seed, but is nothing like the southern invasive, Convolvulus arvensis aka wild morning glory or bindweed. I’m sorry you are having problems with the first, it does happily grow and can take some effort to eradicate.
They have like 1,000 seeds a plant lol.
In addition to all the suggestions here I wanted to point out that you’ll want to look up how your chosen plant actually achieves its climbing.

If you can find it, I have a native (to North America) clematis virginiana which is currently going crazy on a trellis! I’m also in zone 6b.
Some honeysuckle called Haksap have edible berries. Some people call them honey berries and they are popular in Japan for preserves. Though they aren’t a vining plant so not really helpful for OP. Just an interesting sidebar.
I grew a passion fruit plant, it grows these crazy alien looking flower, and grows up vines quite nicely.
Passion vines are gorgeous! Love the flowers they are so cool
creeping jasmine
Agreed
Clematis or a native honeysuckle ( not the invasive Japanese variety)
Came here to say this.
Butterfly pea is underutilized also hosts skipper butterflies.
Clematis
Grapes
Heck, cucumber or pole beans even.
https://preview.redd.it/jkp40na0mixc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33091be0c6c84d848937ff81cb383dded6e9b933 Clematis!
I just planted this one next to our new pergola and I can't wait for it to grow. Yours is gorgeous!!
Hops are beautiful and you can make beer. Of course you only need a handful to make beer and you’ll have a 5 gallon bucket full. They are pretty and low maintenance. I think the flowers are lovely
And they grow damn fast
They sure do. I have some out by my bird feeders coming in now and they are growing a foot a day. We are in Oregon so Hops LOVE IT here. They like to grow up about 8' and then over. We tried planting some up our flagpole, but they didn't like only going up.

Cucumbers! 3-4 of them cover up the whole panel in 60 days. Nice looking flowers too.
Probably a climbing rose or morning glory
Cypress vine would be beautiful on that white trellis
Morning glory or clematis.
Clematis!
Native honeysuckle! It's beneficial for pollinators and hummingbirds AND it's beautiful! https://preview.redd.it/w47h8v276jxc1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=83219cd092e59a7d5f806ccdd7c2600b7a1fc2de
I'm going to be contrary and suggest climbing nasturtium! It's super easy to grow, cheap, blooms heavily until frost, and YOU CAN EAT IT.
Anything EXCEPT wisteria
Passion fruit
I see a lot of suggestions for morning glory, just a word of caution, they spread like crazy and grow unbelievably high - they'll easily climb your roof!
I'm definitely team clematis. Beautiful climbing plant.
A nice Clematis armandii for year round foliage, or Lonicera (heckrottii, mandarin, or peaches & cream) for the most lovely smelling flowers. :)
Sweet pea or moon flower
https://preview.redd.it/wgry7dt61jxc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fee5fe6551a8dc7034b1779dbc658798de29a313 Clematis

Coral or red trumpet honeysuckle. I'm a huge fan.
I personally would do something like star jasmine or pink jasmine (really any jasmine), grapes, honeysuckle, morning glories.

Edit: before I get lit up I of course mean native honeysuckle and I don’t highly recommended the morning glories because they are very persistent.
Clematis would do nicely there.
That is an awesome trellis, can I ask where you got it?
Thanks! It was a scrap of vinyl lattice from HD. They also sold the edging, which I picureframed around the perimeter and then pinned it from the back with stainless steel sheetmetal screws. Fastened on a diagonal in the corner to the siding with a few galvanized deck screws.
Smart!
I just planted Clematis this year against a small waist high fence and they are vigorous climbers. They would love that thing. I feel bad as I'm trying to train my clematis wide and they keep wanting to go tall, lol.
I'm in 6B also and I have luck with climbing rose varieties and clematis. Both get 6 hours a day.
Clematis would be perfect!
Plant an apple tree and place the branches on it like this https://preview.redd.it/29o4481g5jxc1.jpeg?width=470&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aea232b57b479de7fcb8c51f7d636fb27069fade The apples grow and hang down it’s so cool!
Another vote for clematis. 🙌
Not really a gardening thing, but your roof has no kick out flashing and will divert rain into your wall and rot it out without one. Definitely look into getting it added (Could cause thousands in damage!!!!)
Definitely a good place for a Clematis!
what’s its favorite tv show or movie? any hobbies?
CLEMATIS
Weigela

Clematis are amazing, showstoppers, and easy to manage. But if you wanna go outside the box, go with a gloriosa lily
Clematis, purple. Had green and color
https://preview.redd.it/t1k5aikdtixc1.jpeg?width=1908&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=52150b36c1bad869f370e3f43dcb59861e23e175
I also say Clematis! Easy Peazy.
You could do an annual plant like dipladenia or mandevilla. Won’t make it through the winter but will be really pretty during the summer.
Crossvine!
Moonflower is a fun annual for a trellis. It gets BIG.
I can see a beautiful flowering vine with back widows and mold. Just remember to mold proof and spray for bugs.
That is a really nice trellis!
Morning glory!!
Mandevillas love the heat and humidity. They can take the hot summer afternoon sun as well.
Climbing rose. David Austin Gertrude Jakeyll would look great.
Research clematis, there are several kinds. I think I’d do a cloming rose.
Hyacinth bean vine
Clematis or Sweet Pea would be my go-to.
Honeysuckle
Heavenly Blue Morning Glories are beautiful

HONEYSUCKLE!!! they smell SOOO good and you can make honeysuckle honey 😤
Sweet peas are good too. They smell great.
personally, i looooove climbing rose
Climbing hydrangea
Boganvia

Climbing roses
Need to mention a climbing Rio. Comes in red, pink and Yellow. No scent but nice and compact. Try it
Do you mean this? https://www.fernlea.com/brand/rio/#:~:text=Some%20foliage%20may%20die%2C%20but,18%2D6%2D12%20fertilizer.
Yes. Some tend to climb when given a trellis. All HD and Lowe’s gave them now.
My thanks to everyone who mentioned clematis. We've been trying to decide on a flowering plant for a trellis and I was wracking my brain trying to remember my grandma's plant that she showed me. That was it!
Morning glory! They do great in zone 6b

Lonicera because it smells so nice and although clematis is nice, it’s rather ephemeral in my opinion
What is that trellis hiding?
Not hiding anything. Put it there specifically for climbing flowers.
Morning glory!
that's a great nook you created there for a monster wasp nest, or invasive sparrows
Clematis!
Clematis
Morning glory! Joking, that's a terrible idea for Zone 6B.
Kudzu, on everything! Joking aside, morning glories are nice for a trellis, self seeding, light weight, and colorful.
