I love the Clematis Henryi for my mailbox area. . .
But suggestions are needed what else to go with it.
(It is said: "Clematis like their head in the sun and feet in the shade".
So another plant is often planted at the base of the clematis vine to keep 'their feet in the shade'. )

I've used the variegated Liropi with my other clematis with great success but would like a different look for the front mail box area.

We get FULL SUN zone 7b . . . many things fry in this sun . . .

I got artemisia and spikes but now sure about that combination.

had thoughts about a red (or pink) dianthus, heat tolerant but not sure??

HELP!
