Re: Shrubby Clematis -Reply


I grow c. x durandii through abeliophyllum
disticum or common name "white forsythia."  It
is not forsythia at all, but a 4 x 4 shrub that
blooms even before my daphne (about Feb. in
PNW) with white, extremely fragrant flowers. 
Mine is not quite 4 x 4 yet, it grows rather
slowly (its about 3 x 3 after 5 years), and since
the show's over by March, I use it grow this
climatis.  Definitely works!

PS this shrub takes some shade, too.

Sorry, I should have said C. integrifolia, not
terniflora.  
C. durandii was the one shown most.  I was
surprised to hear it 
called a shrub Clematis.  Susan, he said he
propped it up initially 
with brush but had also planted Artemisia
around it for support and 
color contrast.  I don't think he gave the species
of Artemisia used 
or the size.   What shrub do you grow it
through?

Non-climbing, one beautiful blue is climatis x
durandii (?).  Not really shrub like, I grow it
through a smallish shrub for support.  Exquisite
deep blue/purple flowers.  Perhaps what you
saw?
