Which plant should I put here?
In my new house / garden I recently removed an old privet hedge that was growing as a boundary between my and my neighbours garden - it is very close to my living room window (just seen in the corner of the below photo) and was blocking all of the light. I've had two fence panels fitted instead, painted the same colour grey as the existing fence. I've fixed Gripple trellis up both panels and I had been planning to grow trachelospermum jasminoides up both panels. As you can see I've already planted one this weekend which I had growing in a pot from my previous house. I planned to use Jasmine partly as I already had one, and also because I love its autumn foliage, it's evergreen and the scent is wonderful. I had been planning to buy another 2 or 3 to fit along here so that it covers the two fence panels. However now I'm wondering if I should mix it up a bit - eg with Clematis or... something else? If I choose something else, I would like it to be evergreen - this area is very visible from my living room window - and it would also have to blend well with the trachelospermum jasminoides in both summer and autumn/winter. It's a south west corner of my garden - nice and warm now (probably very hot in the summer!) Would be great to hear if people think visually it would be better to keep it the same and stick with the Star Jasmine or mix it up 
PS. The pots will eventually be moved / planted out and replaced with a patio table and chairs

Unless you want to go back to playing Sleeping Beauty I would leave it at that.😊
Here's a pic of Julia Correvon growing through mine-

They were both in a fairly small raised bed. Unfortunately they had to go when my house was extended last year. But I now have a much bigger wall (15ft x 10) which I'm planning on covering with TJ and a clematis again in a few weeks.

I've grown TJ for many years and the only problem I've had is scale insect which have appears if the plants get stressed due to lack of water due to being in a smallish bed.
Others in the garden have been ok.
