I built two pergolas with Montana for early blooms followed by Jackmanii, tangutica, Roguchi, Bonanza, Avant Garde and moon Vines, I have trellises and lattice fences and strategic patterns of wire on solid fences with many many clems of all forms & colors as backdrops for certain colors of irises and daylilies below them.

I have Venosa Violacea, Claire De Lune & Passionflower going up my giant 18' around Elm Tree in an upward spiral pattern. I have mature Will Goodwins and Guernsey Creams climbing up my 40' potted Bamboo. I twisted a Comtessa De Brouchard around a Lilac and others in various bushes & plants with heavy stalks . I made cedar boxes with antique old weathered scroll trellises attached. I have lattice fencing around my 24' circle bed of irises and hope for some exciting borders of Cezanne, Dr Ruppel, Earnest Markham, etc... for those this year.

actually here's a whole yard dedicated to the joys of vertical gardening! Clematis rising to the heavens all over the place is my goal... HA!
