You might consider the Chocolate Vine, Akebia quinata.  Photo at:

This is quite vigorous and will need pruning to keep within bounds. 
There are both a purple and white flowering variety.

Hi everyone,

I've been growing this vine for the past 4 years or so and have never seen a flower on it.  Could it be in too much shade?  It grows fast and the leaves are so nice that people often ask what it is.  I have it on the side of the house facing north-east so it only gets sun until about 10:00 a.m.....maybe 11:00 a.m.

Thanks,
