Queen for A Day.......or at least a week or two

Oh the Clematis,
Queen of the Garden and
Aristocrat of the Climbers

CLAIR DU LUNE


HAKU OOKAN


JOSEPHINE & NIOBE

These four are what is blooming at Beech Street, another one of my most favorite flowers. Heck they are all my favorites...............The awesome thing about a Clematis is you can grow in the ground or in a pot as long as it is a variety that will grow in a pot. You can also train them on a trellis or I have a couple that I have planted at the base of shrubs. They will climb to the top of the canopy and cover the top with flowers. A good shrub to use is a Lilac, with it flowering so early in the Spring. Than the Clematis will cover the top later in the season.

USDA hardiness zone 4 to zone 11
