Susan, I think that's an excellent combination. I had an
Abeliophyllum for one season but it was a casualty of a construction
project -- my husband, a builder but not a gardener, unknowingly
dumped a load of lumber on it. Of course I plan to replace it and
perhaps surround it with flags. Now I think growing a Clematis
through it would also be a Good Thing.
