I have a yellow trumpet now that looks nice and grows fast, but the amount of bees is just ridiculous.
If you have any suggestions, when should I plant it?

Just about any flowering plant will attract bees and wasps. There are some nice ivys that are hardy. Also grape vines will grow up anything well and look quite nice plus can supply you with grapes. Both will try to overtake the deck, most vines will. You can keep them trimmed back off the deck easily or even let them grow along the railing and hang down from it.

You could try any non blooming Ivy as well.
Anything that blooms is more than likely to attract some bees, but I do know that some plants can attract more than others.

Clematis. It is very attractive, hardy, and does not attract many bees although it has beautiful blooms. Hardy in zones 4-9, and comes in many varieties. Plant in Spring, & water well. Will come back every year as it is a perennial.

Any plants with flowers will attract bees. Ivy would work, you would have to trim it.

For something like that that doesn't need trimming, doesn't attract bees, but would be attractive?
Have you tried plastic?
