$4 End-of-Season Clematis at HomeDepot. I’m not made of stone you know – couldn’t resist. I already have 3 clematis in and around my yard, but I couldn’t say no to 2 more. They had a decent set of variety’s. I picked up 2:
- The typical purple – H F Young
- A red one – Comtesse de Bouchard.
As I dont have any actual room left in my garden, the plan is to get these to climb directly up a pine tree. I was a little scared to try this out at first, but reading these two sites helped me make a decision. The best part about clematis is that you can clear them right to the ground yearly, so if there is a problem, it’s easy to reset.
