It's beautiful!

What clematis do you have growing on the right there?

h f young. It's just about to open. Lots of buds. This is year 2.

Yes. Stunning! It likes the filtered sunlight.

Hello! @greenhavenrdgarden

When you say (70 vines) ... My thoughts went.., hmmm? Did you lose that many Clematis plants before success? Or, I am reading that way out of context? Lol I am one of those people who takes things literally.. When there's a joke, I sometimes miss it. Ok, back on topic!

• My backyard faces north. In my backyard, I have a very nice planting bed off the side of my brick paver patio. I fill the bed with Impatients every year and I love them. Talk about a no maintenance annual! They rock color and keep that area of your flower bed, easy work, with major payoff.
• Not only is that bed in total shade during the day, but in the late afternoon and evening the sun is blocked by a very lovely and HUGE red leave maple tree in my neighbor's yard who lives to the west of me. Now no animosity here.. We are good friends. It just makes that bed about 100% full shade. Maybe a little dappling of sun through the red maple leaves.
• Ok. Whew, now you know my situation. I just bought a new lovely 76" tall trellis.. 36" wide. I want to put it in that back bed behind my Impatients and up against the back of the house.
• I have been reading and searching for a clematis that will not only thrive, but also bloom! I am not confident. Everything that I read even on low sun varieties still say, "part sun." So is a Clematis.. feasible in my circumstances? If not, what other blooming vine is a shade lover?

Thank you for any advice or information!

greenhavenrdgarden, can you share where you found your 76" tall trellis? I am looking for a big one like that. Thank you!
