Four years ago, Judy brought me three clematis so I planted them at the ends and the middle of a trellis that I had built for the wisteria. This is the first year that they have had a healthy start (the vines are 5 feet tall with bright green leaves!). I almost gave up that first year. They would start and stop and never bloomed. So I left them alone. And they grew. This year they have a head start on the wisteria. I'm beginning to think that wisteria is some species of kudzu. ?
