I just planted Crossvines ("Tangerine Beauty") and they're pretty and quick-growing. I've also grown confederate jasmine, which is nice. Not as showy as the Crossvines, but smells nice in the summer.

Hmm, not familiar with crossvines. I don't know if I've seen them at local nurseries. Sounds interesting. Thanks for the tip.

Sweet Autumn Clematis :) Arum

Is this pergola attached to your house or away from your house in another area of the property? Some vines are beautiful but can damage house siding and bricks..A trumpet vine is beautiful, reseeds itself and you'll find new sprouts everywhere in your yard where the seeds have blown and dropped themselves but can also do damage to a building, same way with wisteria. The sweet autumn clematis is a fast growing vine. Ivy will do damage to even brick or wood siding. Be careful what you choose.

A honeysuckle would look good. Just make sure not to plant the Japanese variety, even though the fragrance is hard to resist.
