Clematis: How do YOU provide support for vines where there is none...?, 1 by doss

I put eye screws into the fence and string coated garden wire through them. And I use structural supports too like pillars. I've bought most of them at Jackson and Perkins.

Another thing I've done with a distictus is to hang a trellis from the beams of the house. Then when it starts to stick to the house I just swing out the trellis and free the vine from the house. You can see Nellie on the pillar and the trellis - which I should have painted on the left. I just started the disticitis last year so it's just beginning. Even so we've already had to lift the trellis and free the vines.
