Yesterday I moved Huldine, Mrs. T Lundell, Alba Luxurians and Hagley Hybrid without any problems. The clematis I really need to move is Hendryetta.

Hendryetta is in this photo on the obelisk. The butterfly bush to the left is a Nanhoe Blue, which was touted as being 'dwarf' when I bought it. The plant on the right, I can pull those branches down, because this is an agastache and it dies down to the ground for me every winter. I am thinking that I can either cut back half of the Nanhoe Blue or take my chances with Hendryetta. Obviously I should have planned my spacing better.....

One thing just occured to me - Hendryetta is an integrefolia http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=2017 - I could take out the obelisk and just let Hendryetta sprawl and see what happens. The plants that are in front of Hendryetta are Veronica Sunny Blue Border and one of those fancy pom pom daisies......Hendryetta might look nice sprawling through the veronica and the daisies.

As you can tell, I am really reluctant to move Hendryetta..... I would appreciate everyones' thoughts.....
