Canadian Gardening: Can we talk clematis???, 1 by sanannie

Hi Dawn,

I'd like many more of the large flowered clematis but I need some more structures and I have to find the right spots in the garden for them. On the shady fence, they are a bit lanky and don't flower much, although Nelly Moser and Pink Chiffon seem to do well there. I tried a few on the trellis at the front of our house, but that faces southwest and they wilted in the hot afternoon sun. Now I grow that Clematis tangutica with the tiny yellow flowers which thrives in that hot spot.

How about you, what are your favourites out of your 9? They say if you have a small yard that UP is the way to go!
