Clematis Ramona

Clematis vines are funny vines. They pop out strong in the spring and are exquisite when they bloom. Then they usually become insignificant the rest of the season. I like that about them. Other vines in Texas are a little too rowdy sometimes, climbing over everything in their path. I have fought cross vine and passion vine for years in places I have planted them and then changed my mind. They will be with me forever. I never feel that way about Clematis. They are sweet and lovely (except for the fall flowering Clematis paniculata-it is another story to be told). I plan to mix 3 shades of purple and lavender together in the garden this year and see if it becomes as beautiful as I think it will. Sharon
