    climing plant

    You could have a passion flower but it is semi evergreen, but a fast grower, you could cut it back though and it would come back every year.

    Plumbago pruning

    I had a plumbago wilmotii which I pruned every march down to about 2 buds from the ground, it probably depends on the type of plumbago you have though.

    Yup, from seed BM, I dont regard it as a good grower over here. I'm not that well up on them, but I think they can become treelike in the tropics. Mine grow fast but only for a short period each year so overall growth is slow, the lower leaves also drop, which can make them a bit leggy.
