Campsis

I used to have a big one on the back of the house, they love heat.
I'd go for one of the hybrids, or cultivars of C. radicans, which I find suckers the, big one I had "Indian Summer" never suckered.

 

A picture of the top half of mine in 2015.

 

I started with C. Madame Galen grown as a standard, then added 'Stromboli' and finally C.r. Flava As pete says, they need lots of heat and sun to flower well. The big advantage if growing on a wall is that they stick all by themselves

 

I started one from seed so it is its first year. Only about 15 meters now so hoping for blooms next year.

 

I found it didn't often stick well enough and needed some wires, but where it did stick the roots are still there now after a few years being gone.

 

The only problem I found with Mme Galen in a client's garden in UK was reluctance to flower. It grew like mad, covered a big garage wall but just didn't want to produce flowers. Perhaps with hotter summers now and a good shot of potassium it's not a problem

 

Was it on a south or west facing wall, I seem to remember that is a hybrid with a more tender species from China? possibly.

Or maybe just too rich damp soil?

 

South facing and pretty dry...I tried everything I could think of but it was a puzzle! Perhaps just a bad plant.
Mine has three flushes a year if not too badly nibbled by hornets

 

Is that the Hornets that like Cestrum and Jasmine.

That just shows the difference between our growing season and yours, as mine only ever managed one flush of flowers per year.

 

Yes but what a show! Beautiful. You'd be surprised what hornets eat the bark off. Tamarix, Campsis, you name it....just had to come inside (again) because of the damned things.

 

They eat the bark?
Is that to build nests.

 

You don't hang about do you, Loofah? £18 is cheap ? Does it come with it's own wall?
Excuse the thread drift...just to reply to the lads....@pete, I think they eat bark of 'sweet' shrubs and trees. Just a theory. The nest building takes place earlier in the year.
@Drahcir I'd agree that they're not anything like as aggressive as paper wasps, although accidentally getting too close to the Asiatics nest can cost you your life, apparently. The nuisance lies in the sheer numbers of them. Lot et Garonne is a fruit-growing département and we've lots of little woods dotted around the fields and orchards, so it all adds up to hornet paradise.
It's traumatic trying to pick fruit (any fruit) when there are about 50 of them all convinced that it's theirs!
I remember finding my cat playing with an English hornet one day in the conservatory....she wasn't stung.
As for the sound of creatures eating fences, I'm deaf as a post, but one of the few things that I can hear quite clearly is a wasp chewing wood at 500m
