Clematis
Clematis selections
Clematis is undoubtedly the most versatile vine you can grow. Few other climbers offer such a broad range of bloom colors, shapes, and seasons. Dwarf clematis are great for growing in containers or along decks and patios; medium-size varieties look great intertwined in small trees. For a knockout mix, plant a blue or white clematis with a red climbing rose.
Most clematis grow best in full sun and moist, well-drained soil.
Note: All parts of clematis are poisonous.
