Wow, Sheri, your clematis are gorgeous. Who wouldn't love clematis after seeing this? I have loved them for years but only planted some about 3 years ago. They lay on the ground or crawled up their short trellis (that came with the plant) and sort of limped along with one or two blooms last year. This spring, I just decided to get some trellises since they were obviously never going to grow up my privacy fence without help and they've bloomed and bloomed and gone over the top to the other side. I love love love them and got a new one this spring--a double bloom, Belle of Woking. I can't wait to see it bloom like the others. :)
