Something else to think about is plot size & backing. If you're trying to cover a cinderblock wall, try training Jasmine & Giant Honeysuckle up it. In a smaller space you want taller plants that don't give a lot of shade in the back, Bamboo in planters or Giant Birds of Paradise for example, and then shorter, more colorful plants in front of them, like Bromiliads, Ginger & Heliconias.
