Because its the front of our house I would like something pleasing to the eye all year round so was thinking an evergreen and then an additional sping/summer/autum plant. Its a south-east facing wall but dont ask me what the soil type is as I have no idea!

Thanks in advance
Depending where you are, if you want evergreen, look up Hydrangea semanii, its also self clinging. For quick cover, I'd plant Clematis montana rubens with Passiflora caerulea, whilst neither are evergreen, you would get a long flower display !!
