Default Clematis -- When to plant?

I'm about to put together a section of lattice between my property and the
neighbor's. It will consist of some 4x4s covered with the lattice. My goal
is to cover this with vines of course.

I'm thinking clematis would be a great addition here -- imagine a 6 foot
tall by 20 foot wide wall covered with clematis varieties and you'll see the
instant appeal. We'll probably put a few other vines in there as well -- to
give it a little more variety, maybe attract some hummingbirds. The spot
gets lots of sun, so it's perfect for just about anything.

What I'm wondering here -- do I have to wait for next spring to plant or can
I get away with planting some this year? Any suggestions on varieties as
well?
