Welcome Sherrill, it's nice to have a plant that impresses you and then you add more.
I started adding clematis when I moved to this present property 3 years ago, I finally had room to grow several. My first ones were planted in 2012 and it's so exciting to see their large size now!
I think Ville de Lyon is a favorite of many as I see it often, must be an easy one to grow, it's distinct and easily recognizable too.
