Don't expect rampant growth - these are pretty 'thin' plants, just two or three stems so they are really for clambering over things rather than climbing up a trellis type of plants.
There are one or two climbing aconitums but you need to find a specialist nursey. Take a look at www.crug-farm.co.uk for some of them

What a lovely plant for shade - must look for this one - I didn't know there were climbing Aconites!!!
