At last, my clematis bloomed. People in the northwest have clematis vines that are threatening to eat their houses. They are incredibly easy to grow, unless you are me.
I have no idea what kind it is, as I planted it almost four years ago. I moved it a few times, then finally settled it next to my ‘Moonlight’ climbing hydrangea. Everyone tells me that ‘Moonlight’ needs no trellis and can climb anything but I seem to have acquired a specimen with a lazy mutation. It can’t climb without assistance, so I have jury-rigged a system. The Corokia cotoneaster in a pot next to them is doing wonderfully. I think maybe I’m just vine-ally challenged.
