Cypress vine aka Cardinal vines are very intrusive and rampant in my Texas Gardens..I am constantly pulling them outta the ground and off my Clematis!!..BUT maybe in your more temperate zone they won't be invasive..My favorite companioning with Clematis are Climbing Roses.....I am getting ready to add more..just ordered 2 David Austins Climbing Rosa "Tess of the d'Urbenvilles" which I will plant clematis "Violette Elizabeth", "John Huxtable" "Avante-Garde" and "Jackmanii" with..they will be on my new Rose Arbor..so while you are waiting for your clematis to mature you will have blooms from the Rose and then once mature you will have blooms together and one of the other will be blooming to give you constant blooms...
For instance ..Here is my Climbing Rosa "Abraham Darby" with Clematis "Ernest Markham" and "Etoile Violette"
