Thunbergia in a shade garden?

Thunbergia grandiflora, specifically. On the north facing side of my house is the porch which has a 4ft tall brick wall alongside it right under the overhang. It gets NO sun. I have a shade garden going there, and would like to plant a thunbergia there to vine up and around the wall. My Mom has one doing great on the east side of her house under the overhang, but I think it gets a little morning sun. I was wondering if anyone had any idea if it might do okay in full shade. Will it flower? Thanks!
