Clematis stans presumably by cuttings shingle garden or trough whereJapanese clematis. Nodding soft blue flowers in March to April Sun for the tops, roots happier in the shade. So perfect through a shrub that is dull in autumn. 160cm. Try Buddleja, climbing roses and other larger shrubs. Like a larger grwoing version of C. heracleifolia. Still small, get in now. 64, CC BY SA 3. 0 <http: creativecommons. org licenses by sa 3. 0 >, via Wikimedia Commons
