The secret to clematis is to let them have cool roots thru both mulching and shade from other plants. But, they like their main bodies in the light. I don't fertilize or do anything special or fuss over them.
At first I thought that double-petal must be an Asian Lily. That Popcorn, really "pops" against that green leaf background
I would love some roots - maybe some of the brown-eyed suzies too if you have some to get rid of (yes, I'm being greedy ).
I have lots of Susans. Maybe I can meet you somewhere between us. Are you headed south soon to see a man about a cat?
That would be awesome. I'll be headed down south next weekend if all goes as planned. On my way back I could swing thru your area.
