Spring and autumn clematis
 

Has anyone ever grown a summer clematis and an autumn clematis on the
same trellis? I was wondering if each could hold it's own or if the
autumn clematis would be too over-powering.

Give it a shot! I've lost so many plants due to stupid mistakes that I
can't remember the particulars. . What bothers me is the chance of an
early failure led me to believe that/those plants won't work in my
micro-climate and a small chance for beauty was lost.

I have never heard of Clematis described as Summer or Autumn but it
should not be a problem.


Sweetautumn Clematis (Clematis maximowicziana) is *extremely* vigorous and
would certainly choke out a more placid named cultivar.

Pardon that error-- Sweetautumn Clematis is Clematis terniflora, not
maximowicziana.

I have five different varieties growing on the same lattice.
I use the heavy duty lattice made of plastic (white).
I added a frame to connect the two 4' x 8' sheets together and
connected to a utility pole.
I have my most vigorous summer and autumn plants at the opposite
ends and they do fine.
Between Chicago and Milwaukee.

Most of my trellis's have at least two. I try to get an early flowering and
a late flowering on the same one. but of course that doesn't always work
when I lose the tags! Other than that I try to get a pink with purple or
variations of.
I think to date I have 30 different clematis. Currently 10 are in bloom.
