Hi, folks -L00king for your recommendations for vine to climb up garage wall:
Area:So. Calif coastal
Exposure: West, unobstructed
Would like: Fast-growing; lots of flowers (I can dream...)
Water: Is there anything low water? If not, please recommend anyway.
Trellis: Can erect, if vine doesn't cling to stucco
No Butterfly Bush.
Thanks for your thoughts.

These all need support (e.g., a trellis): Bougainvillea Star jasmine Bignonia
Avoid Wisteria, it will eventually tear your garage apart.
Thanks to Jeff and David for advice.
Jeff, I agree that Passiflora might be a little "tender" for strong Western sun, esp. in summer
David, I agree re: Wisteria; I went through that in another area. Beautiful, but...
I found more recommendations on
Wish me luck!
