You are so welcome..It is SO NICE to have another Southerner growing clematis..they are just not common here..I am constantly having people stop by my gardens inquiring what the heck that plant is..LOL...My husband USE to be like yours..we had formal gardens until I retired and "forced" him to let my have total control of the gardens..I agreed to sell the big house in Tomball and move out here if and ONLY if he'd allow me to purchase ANYTHING for my gardens and design it myself..a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do...You just can't go wrong with the Pruning group 3's and two's do well here as well..just remember those are the ones that can wilt..BUT if you prune them back even with the soil and still water ..they will return..it's just heartbreaking but rarely has it happened to me..Clematis "Henryi" which is in full sun wilted for me but came back stronger than ever...I just prefer the pruning group 3 whites..like any of the "Florida's"
