Hi Dalila!
There are some very beautiful plants that will grow up a trellis for you to enjoy. Morning glories come to mind first. My mother had many of these and were so beautiful on her garden trellis.

I never knew there were mosquito repellent plants.
Strangely, you haven't heard until now that there are special mosquito repellent plants.
In my garden, I planted lavender, sage, and rosemary. Since we live close to the river, there are just a huge number of mosquitoes. In the evening, it was impossible to sit on the terrace because the mosquitoes literally devoured us.
So I decided to plant these plants, and it helped. In addition to the benefits, these plants are also very beautiful and perfectly decorate my garden. As for rosemary, it is always needed in the kitchen.
Now there are practically no mosquitoes, and this is very cool. I am very glad that I finally found a way to get rid of them.

You can also consider planting flowers that attract predators of mosquitoes, such as dragonflies and hummingbirds. More info here: https://www.hometalk.com/diy/outdoor/pest-repeller/how-to-keep-mosquitoes-away-44423909
You could contact your local cooperative extension, they have master gardeners who could advise you of what to plant,
As it turns out, it's the oils in the plants that repel mosquitoes, so unless the oil is released, plants won't necessarily repel them unfortunately. We use mosquito coils and a Thermacell which keeps our deck quite mosquito-free.
Check with your County Extension Agent's office. They'll be able to advise which plants will grow best in your area and deter mosquitoes too!
