I'm winding down on creating my new hosta beds and garden area. I have an arbor I am placing over the path leading back to the new garden shed I am getting (yipppppeeeee).
I need a vine, preferably flowering, that would grow well in the same conditions as hosta. This area will get maybe 1-2 hours direct sun thru the day, but mostly filtered light/shade.
If there is a clematis that would grow under those conditions, that would be awesome!
Any ideas?
What vine do I need here?

Re: What vine do I need here?
Hi Charla,
I've grown many different clematis in low light situations like this and they've always grown and flowered really well for me. At our old place I had The President on an arbor entering the hosta garden and it was amazing. Each year I would prune a couple branches to make sure it wasn't too shaded, but it definitely only received one to two hours of any direct sunlight.
Hope that helps!
Chris

Re: What vine do I need here?
Thanks, Chris! That helps alot!
I'm going to go look up 'the President' right now! I pulled the arbor into the sun as far as I could and yesterday I got hubby to agree that one branch on the old walnut tree needs to go...it's getting too close to the house.... He's so predictable!
Thanks for the suggestion!

Re: What vine do I need here?
Chris, I looked up 'the President' and it is perfect!!!!
Just the right color.
I actually think I've got one or two of these I got from Walmart a few years ago, but I don't have the tags anymore...
Thanks again!

Thanks, Karma!
I visited the site briefly and it does look terrific! I'm going to go back and shop when I have some time. I think I will wait till spring to get my new clemmies....getting kind of late here and I don't really have their spot ready, yet.
Thanks again!

Re: What vine do I need here?
In Kansas...
You can have every clemmie you want.. even I can have them in the trees and roses
Just a question on what pruning you want to do
You can plant now if youwant. just remember to plant deep
A rambling clemmie among the hostas is a fav of mine
