Hello again, I just bought a summer flowering Clematis called Madame Julia Correvon. Its a very tall trellised vine and has a few of the small purple flowers on it.

The tag says that it performs well in warmer area where larger flowers will not grow. This is my first clematis and I want to give it a good home. I'm in hot muggy Louisiana and seek ANY advise of other Clematis gardeners.
Merci Beacoup .
