Hello -- I was wondering if anyone here has ever grown a clematis along a sloping wall, anything like the one in this picture, or if you experienced clematis folks think it's a bad idea to try it? I've got a viticella purpurea plena elegans that I was thinking of putting somewhere else, but then it occurred to me that it would look lovely back there if I could prop it or train it to stay on the wall, which is only about 4 ft tall, but 20 ft long. Right now there's creeping sedum growing between the stones, and there always will be, as that sedum can't be gotten rid of, but it would be a nice bright background for the dark flowers, I'd think. I've completely rearranged the border in front of the wall since this pic was taken, so there's more room now, in the ground anyway, for the plant itself. I'd certainly appreciate your opinions, ideas... Thanks very much, Laura
