Anyway, I would like to grow something up the verandah posts, under the lip of my bullnose verandah. We have two french doors which open out onto the garden, but unfortunately part of our view is hampered by the brand spanking new roof of the neighbour's house over the back fence. The Colour-Bond reflects a dazzling amount of light straight back at us at certain times of the day. We've got Pittosporum growing along the back fence, which hopefully eventually will block out most of it, but I thought a planting as described above might screen out that last bit of glare from our view from inside. At the foot of the posts in question, there is concrete, so what ever I grow must be happy in a pot. I plan to run a line out from my auto drippers. BTW that side of the house faces North and I live in Western Melbourne.

So my questions: would jasmine be a possibility? Any other suggestions? The winning plant would need to grow fairly quickly, but also not be damaging to my house. I envisage something that is lush and possibly fragrant, that can be trained or pruned back from the walkway. I'll try and see if I can post a photo somewhere of the entrance, so you can see what I'm working with.
