Clematis, queen of vines, are divided into 3 categories: Early Flowering, Late Flowering and Repeat Bloomers. Pruning can be confusing, but you'll find guidelines here. Zones: Generally 4 - 9 Colors: White, Pink, Yellow, Purple, Burgundy Height: 8 - 10' Width: 3' Bloom Period: Depends on variety Exposure: Full sun, but roots need to be shaded or mulched. Notes: The old saying goes: Head in the sun, feet in the shade. Clematis will climb toward the sun, but they like their roots cool. That's why they grow so well under other plants, like roses.

Clematis
I find Hostas and Dicentra bleeding heart and clematis(Jackmanii)are the best for my garden in northern Ontario Canada zone 4-5. Also love hollyhocks easy growing and beautiful to look at.
