Hello Cathy,
   There is a species clematis that is native to Texas.. and will grow in
Louisville, Ky if you ever return to garden there. Look up Clematis
texensis. Acts like a herbaceous perennial here in the garden. Not always
easily located, and can be a bit expensive, but I think it is very
attractive since I prefer the smaller species types. Great in a native tree
and shrub planting. There are several cultivars and some hybrids to seek.
   Now that a couple of my virburnums are getting large enough, they are
receiving companion plantings of species clematis. Looking forward to the
show in a couple of years.

There is probably a good chance I'll return to the Louisville area someday since our two sons and a grandson reside there. I just loved the perennials I had growing there and now Texas presents a whole new set of challenges. always meant to visit Munchkin Nursery but didn't make it when I lived in the Ohio Valley.

Now I'm gathering plants for a Lagoon Pool setting. This ought to be fun! (don't like palms)
