    Never heard of this plant before. Could I grow that in Louisiana? (We are pretty hot in the summer)

    Definitely! There are plenty of people that grow them in southeast Texas (where I'm from) and do well with them.

    If you can find a dappled sun area or a place where the clematis could have its roots shaded (maybe growing up a trellis behind a bush) I think you would have plenty of success with them. I know I have way cooler summer weather than you here in Colorado, but I just had a clematis survive 2 full weeks in full sun with no water (DH forgot about it while I was out of town). I'd say they are pretty tough. There are plenty of sources for them online, relatively cheap if you wanted to give it a shot.
    Happy growing!
