Ivy, lots of different types available (google Fibrex to see the varieties available) although  mature specimens have small flowers then berries

My trachelospermum never flowers, but they are supposed to !

As far as I know all nearly all plants flower in order to reproduce themselves.

Hi,

I am really puzzled by your request for no-flowering plants.....what's wrong with flowers? The more the merrier, as far as I am concerned.

Technically of course, all plants have flowers, even things like Ivy, whose green, nectar-rich flowers encourage wasps.

We have a rather lovely golden-leaved version of the Hop vine, whose flowers are also not obvious or bright. Actinidia (Kiwi) have big leaves for shade and flowers which are not a major feature.

Viginia creeper?  So fast you can almost see it grow.

I have 2 grape vines which provide nice shade and for the last couple of years, lots of grapes too. 

I also have a lovely clematis (OK not for you as it has large flowers) and a kiwi fruit which for the first time in many years had a few white flowers which are transforming into fruit.  Just need some sun now to take advantage of all this

Thanks for the ideas, although i absolutely love flowers and like a colourful garden too, but we get absolutely plaqued with wasps and hornets and find it impossible to even relax and just sit and have a glass of wine in peace. Soooooooo definitely want a patio space without giving the little blighters anymore flowers and pollen to be attracted to.
