Re: native clematis/learning

The "shrub clematis" is a weird amalgam - not a vine, but not truly a shrub (as we know it) either. It does tend to "flop" and is best appreciated adjacent to a bench or walkway where it can be observed and appreciated up close.

This year I got my first Shrub Clematis C. heracleifolia, aka Tube
Clematis.  Seems to be doing well but I don't expect flowers til

next

year.

Will be most interested in finding out how you like this plant after
a year in the garden.  Had some long ago but when they died, I did
not cry nor replace them.  Could be they were not in enough sun to
show their stuff, but I found it a floppy plant with insignificant
flowers in that you could hardly see them from 5' away.  So, do tell
how you like it next year.
