Eight clematises: Let me choose for you! Hahaha!

1) Madame Julie Correvon can withstand hard frost. Flower again and again, not burden on the stake, unlike Montana

2) Clematis 'Jackmanii'

3) Princess Kate

4) Durandii

5) Paul Farges

6) Queen of Vine

7) Sieboldii

8) Viennetta

Those are metal stakes and dual wire strands so they can be burdened. Thank you for the insight and knowledge. I really have come to like clamatis in this environment.

Well then, Montana with its beautiful apple blossom scent. It knocked me out for six last year. Every time I walked by my plant, the fragrance is out of this world.

You saw Daren's beautiful arch crown with Armandii - pure bliss!

So H5 is long term but H4 is what they would rate us on the USDA 8a zone to UK conversion. I was excited to see the H scale! I had not been exposed to that scale before and now will sort imported plants with better clarity. Thank You!

This one has odd leaves already. We have had a tremendous amount of rain. 7 inches in the last 2 weeks.

Thank you for the suggestion! That is a good looking flower and it reminded me of Christmas ornaments!

The fence is for deer. They have a wandering habit, or when fleeing in alarm or startled will beeline. It works but I have had 2 times where they bent it by running into it. Why they do not jump inside I cannot tell you because they easily could. Mostly they wander and munch. Becky feeds them to keep them in the woods behind the house so she says but they still get out into the yard.
