I bought a small scraggly clematis plant from Lowe, marked down to 25
cents. I prepared a $10 hole for the plant, a homemade trellis and
kept it watered. Not much happened the following year, but now it
covered the entire 10-foot trellis and is covered with blooms. I
found it is much better to buy a small plant rather than a large one,
if yo ucan find a small one.
