Clematises for Azalea and Banana shrub?

19 years ago

Hi All,

I've been lurking this forum and bought many clematises this spring.

The most of them are still in container and am looking for the places to plant them.

I'm considering to use azaleas (about 4x4 and 5x5) and a banana shrub (about 10 feet height) as a structure.

They are in the front foundation bed and get afternoon sun.

So here's my question.

Is it feasible?

If so, what size and type of clematis are suitable for them?

Can I chose them from my current clematis list?

Here are my clematises:

Rhapsody (Silver Star Vinery)

Gipsy Queen (Brushwood)

Odoriba (Brushwood)

C. patens Yuki Okoshi (Joy Creek Nursery)

Arctic Queen (Bluestone)

Gravetye Beauty (Bluestone)

Jackmanii (Bluestone)

Princess Diana (Bluestone)

Asao (Bluestone)

Also I bought the following bargain ($1.00) clematises in 4 inch pot at Lowe's:

Fireworks

H F Young

Nelly Moser

The President

Ramona

FYI, I'm living in the outskirts of the northwest Houston, TX.

Thanks for your input,

- Seiko
