Planting 2 new Clematis -- suggestions?

19 years ago

I currently have 'Josephine' in my front yard, and it's absolutely beautiful; it's 3 years old. I would like to plant two more, side by side, on two trellises against the side of my home. It receives full sun (afternoon). I'd like to try two from group 3, maybe a blue-violet and a deep rose colored. I'm trying to get mid-summer to late summer blooms. Any suggestions?

You could look at Etoile Violet or Polish Spirit for the violet and plena elegans or Avante Garde for the deep rose.
These are viticellas and group 3's.

Thanks a lot for responding. I'll definitely take a look at them in my garden books!
