suggestions for smaller vines?

16 years ago

hi, i'm looking for some smaller vines to go along my side and back fence (supported by trellises):

* 8-9ft tall by 5ft wide, pm sun

* 9ft tall by 10ft wide, full sun

* 9ft tall by 10ft wide, part to full shade

ideally, the vines wouldn't outgrow their space, and would be low-maintence, not very bushy, evergreen, and CA native and/or low-water. oh, and attract hummingbirds or butterflies. am i asking too much? :) most of the vines i can think of would just overwhelm my tiny garden!

thanks!
