Jon - I agree with you whole-heartedly about MGs probably being grown in just about every garden in Japan. They are far from common here in the USA. They haven't seemed to have caught on here. Which is too bad. I think most people believe they are invasive vines and therefore keep their distance from them or avoid growing them. I. purpureas do have that reputation for producing lots of volunteers.

I grew Sweet Autumn Clematis this year in the ground for the first time. My two vines had always grown in pots. They seem to like climbing the mini pergola. And they bloomed like crazy for me earlier in late summer. Apparently the pollinators liked the blooms this year because they are now loaded with fluffy seeds. I hope I don't wind up with a ton of volunteers! LOL!
