Is there a keyword I should look for in the descriptions to
make sure I get the well behaved kind, if I go with clematis?
FYI, my current ones are Etoile Violette and Julia Correvon.

i only have about a half dozen varieties here and i
would not consider any of them suitable for any type
of situation where you were trying to avoid having to
manage or fiddle with them.
