I have grown several different kinds of integrifolias. They are a herbaceous, non-vining clem that is best grown as more of a sprawling groundcover. Or you can allow it to scramble through low growing shrubs.

IMO, All the texensis cultivars are great, virtually trouble-free vines. Late season bloomer but in my area they go until frost.

Both are pruning group 3 - hard prune.

Thank you! I’m planning to plant the integrifolia in a large pot so that I can keep an eye on it.

I would love to see a photo of these in other’s gardens. I seem to have the most trouble with figuring out how to group plants together and arrange them in my beds.

@Northeast Gardener, Central NJ, 7a May I ask where you found these beauties? I am looking for bell shaped blue clematis everywhere!

Hi @paint girl 6bNJ, I got them at Gasko’s in Monroe. They had tons of clematis at the start of the season this year and I’d never see these before. Do you know Gasko’s?

@Northeast Gardener, Central NJ, 7a Yes I go there all the time and I love that place! I am planning to go again this weekend to get a butterfly bush. I'll be looking out for Clematis too! Thank you so much! By the way, how are your Clematis doing now? Would they bloom this year?
