Clematis combo for Zone 4

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

Hi everyone. We are in Minneapolis/Saint and recently built a rather large trellis 12 feet wide x 7 feet tall. We are relatively close to a clematis grower Donhue's down in southern MN. I am looking for a combination of 4-5 different variety of clematis and have primarily used the Donhue's "All Star" list to come with the attached list. The attributes I am looking in picking the 4-5 types would need to have the following.

  1. color coordination (different cultivars that compliment one another)
  2. Goal is to have something always in bloom during the summer. So different blooming periods.
  3. Pop. I need the cultivators to be aggressive bloomers that put on a show.

I have come up with the following list, but welcome any other suggestions. I think I would put Jackmanii in the middle. I really like the Kilian Donhue but worried the color is an outlier I also included the all star list from Donhue's if anyone is inclined to suggest an alternate option.
