This vine grows very well on the north side of my home in zone 8 with the rambling rose "Darlow's Enigma." I look forward to seeing both in bloom each year. First the Willy clematis in the spring, and then the rose all summer long.

I grow this one next to Pamela Jackman and the blue vs pink contrast is wonderful in June. Very floriferous. I also grow this one up through a chokecherry and when it blooms, it seems the flowers are from the cherry!
