LOL... my decision was easy. I'm going to let it trail down from the corner of the balcony it's on!

One I have growing inside a peony hoop support, and the other growing on some peonies. A third has a trellis, but I have to attach it with ties ocasionally.

Which ones do you consider non-vining? I'd always thought all were climbers. I am new to this so if the question is silly, you can laugh. Could I grow some in and among my annual flowers? Thanks.

It's not a silly question at all. I think most people, when they're starting to get interested in clematis, only know about the large-flowering types, not the more unusual ones. Two of the ones that I have that don't climb are Arabella and Integrifolia, and I don't see any reason you couldn't grow a few like that in amongst your annuals.

I have Petit Faucon and Blue Boy growing through my perennials. I'm using Arabella as a ground cover under my roses. I also have some Petit Faucon growing through my roses. Durandi, Sizaia Ptitsa(sp?), and Rogouchi are growing through obelisks.

I have seen the Roguchi. It is very pretty. Aren't they fragrant? I will have to look up the rest of them. I just received my first clem in the mail. I got the Crystal Fountain. I hope I do good with it, because I think I would love some more. I will need more trellis and I have a couple projects going for that. I think I will grow some of the smaller ones in pots. Does it matter what material the pots are made of?

I have roguchi and am training him to grow up my lilac tree. I just planted it last fall and it is doing well. It is happily starting to meander it's way upward with a little help from me on the rougher bark and limbs that are lower down on the trunk. It has a long way to go before it covers any of the branches but seems to be thriving.

I love the blooms of my white lilac and am always sad when it is finished putting on it's fragrant show. I thought it would be so nice to have something blooming there after it is finished to cheer me up.

When I ordered Roguchi last year, I didn't know it was non-vining until after I had it in the ground next to a trellis. So I'm hoping I can train it to grow through the trellis... It's not even tall enough to reach the trellis yet so we'll see.

Some I try to grow up into shrubs but they seem to prefer to ramble on the ground. Some I have in obelisks.

Rooguchi is semi-clingy for me, and it grows up the front of a Chamaecyparis nootkanensis 'Pendula'. Arabella grows over a large sedum. Miranda grows through a dwarf viburnum, Pamiat Serdtsa through a regular viburnum. Others grow over large perennials like peonies after they've bloomed.

My Arabella meanders through my hostas, ferns and other perennials. I just purchased Alionushka and will probably have her meander somewhere, but don't know where yet. Durandi just vanished, so maybe it will show up one day.
