Coverage for artificial wall (Fast growing/dense vines)

Hi everyone.

The back of my residence is south / south west facing which means that during the summers, it bakes. The walls and patio area are white.

I'm looking into building out of bamboo a few large sections of artificial wall to block out as much sun exposure as possible for the coming summer months. They will be slightly away from the house as to not encourage invasion of the home.

I've picked a few from the following link but wanted to get opinions on what I can plant that will provide ample dense coverage in full sun for much of the day. The planters will be on the patio so drought tolerant is going to be a must.

I'm looking at the Florida native ones like: Trumpet Creeper, Lonicera sempervirens, Symphyotrichum carolinianum, Wisteria frutescens

Opinions?

Thanks!
