Yes, I loved it, except for the constant trimming I had to do. It would actually come up on the porch and I would cut anywhere from two to three feet of it back a mnimum of three times during the growing stage. I left for Fla and was gone almost two week, and when I came back it had almost taken over the entire porch, corneres were fillled in and the vine was almost to my Rockers...LOL it is a wild child...but oh, that smell is lovely! There are also roses on that trellis and they bloomed in the Spring/Summer, before the clematis bloomed in August/September. I am going to miss it, I am sure, but I have recently planted other clematis there that I am sure will be better behaved....LOL This one gives you more of a taste for the size and that is just one side of the porch..I will show you the other as well..lol
