I agree with Pam!

Thanks for the good source. I'll look into them tomorrow when it's raining...again.

FM has been huge this year and I was sorry to see it flop as it did. No need to be concerned over wrong thread! Many of us have peonies in addition to clematises, roses, lilies, etc. Here it is on June 2nd and then the decline until the rain smashed it on June 8th.

Pearl - I'm not familiar with annuals for Florida but I'd plant anything more than a foot away from the base of the clematis. You'd want something that doesn't self-seed to drive you crazy and something complimentary to The President in color. Maybe peach colored blooms? Or maybe something to match your home? I know some people do plant perennials or shrubs with clematis but that has been disaster for me. I'd stick to annuals.
