Re: Re: Clematis
I think there's a big difference between bush and non-viner. To me, the
non-vining Clematis are sort of vines that have nothing with which to grasp
and climb, so I tend to think of them more as creepers. Anything labeled
'bush' should be a woody - it should have somesort of woody base at least.
It was my impression that there were regular climbing/vining Clematis,
Non-vining Clematis, and Bush Clematis. But it appears to me now that there
is a fourth type, an herbaceous perennial that is erect, doesn't get tall
enough or have the capability of, or need to grab support. However, I would
suppose this fourth type, not having a lot of members has been lumped into
non-vining. This not something I've read, just my own interpretation.
Anyone clarify further?
