Best clematis for high shady wall, west facing

10 years ago

Hi There
I'm looking for some advice on the best variety of clematis to plant to grow up a large west facing shady wall. We'd love one that flowers twice a year if possible, but most importantly, needs to grow to around 3 metres and also trained grow horizontally as well.
Any thoughts and suggestions much appreciated.

Does it get any sun? What is the shade like? (Densely overhanging trees create deep shade, while a white wall with nothing overhanging can be quite bright shade.)

Where are you? Not all clematis will grow everywhere.
