I love clematis and thought I ran out of room until I was walking in the woods here in Montana and saw them growing naturally. They were climbing up trees in shady areas. So I looked at my garden and counted 175 potential clematis plants. So I have them going everywhere. Though the ones in the sun seem to thrive and grow like a weed. I always keep their roots cool. Gee I have planted several 3" pots and never lost any. Maybe cause the soil is so rich with compost I don't have competition problems. It helps to be stupid and fearless when planning a garden. Love the clematis climbing everywhere.
