I have two that are in the second year. I am going to add another and wondered which varieties have worked for you?
Anyone have photos of their potted clems?
I have Bijou short less than 2 feet
Vagabong supposed to be less than six feet but I have seen a wide variety of heights for that one
#1 Bijou today
#2 Vagabond putting out lots of sprouts.
How big is your container? What colors are your current clem's and are they all group/type/class 2?
I have three growing in a container but didn't select them for their short height but their colors instead.
Here's a link to explain the planting: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1201917/
Thanks Pirl. My planters are 20 inches dia. I wanted another clem for the middle planter. It has a heuchera and a lily that I suspect might have been eaten by voles last winter. There is no wall or fence for a really tall clem to grow on. Vagabond and Bijou are both purples.
#1 is Bijou
#2 Vagabond
What color do you want?
Bourbon's colors vary on all sites and it may be too dark for you but there are so many other colors available.

Here's the Raymond Evison Boulevard (TM) collection with many choices:
