Trumpet Vine in Heavy Shade?

I have a barren chain link fence between my house and my neighbor's. It divides the roughly 6' wide area separating the two homes, 3' from fence to home on either side. It gets maximum 2 hours of direct sunlight and that's a generous estimate. The two houses are a pale yellow/off-white color that does a good job of reflecting rays. I really want to plant some trumpet vine in there because I love the way the plant looks and I want to attract hummingbirds to my garden in general. I've been reading up on Campsis and it seems that a lot of people report issues with blooms when the vine isn't in full sun. Has anyone out there on the GC had success, getting it to grow AND bloom in heavy shade?
