Clematis - easy-to-grow, long-lived, climbing vines - are a favorite of both seasoned and beginner gardeners, due to their versatile beauty. Cascading colorful blooms over walls and fences or winding their way up trellises, pillars, mailboxes, lampposts, or even through rose bushes, long-blooming Clematis dazzle year after year, providing a wealth of brilliant colors and attractive features in the form of flowers, foliage, and decorative seedheads.
