Default Screening Plants and Climbing Plants

trellis and growing some climbing plants to hide next door's plain
unpainted rendered garage wall. I have noticed some lovely climbers
with bright mauve / purple flowers and was wondering if anyone can help
with the name of this particular climbing plant? Also, how do they look
during Autumn/Winter?


Wouldn't be the shudder Morning Glory, by any chance?

I think hybrids of the Morning Glory are available, these don't seed and
do come in different shades of blue, so these may be a goer. But the feral
one gets to be a real pest. Whatever you decide on, will the attraction of
bees to the flowers be a problem on your deck? (I have the feeling that
Morning Glory do not attract bees, incidently.)
