Sue Strong from Northwest Arkansas , pore on compact miscellanea ofclematis , which tote up a unequalled spell to pots and trellises throughout her garden .
“ This year has been a hectic gardening twelvemonth for me here in NW Arkansas . I added over 30 unexampled varieties ofdayliliesto my bottom ( will bow pictures next class ) and over a dozen new varieties of clematis , most of which are the newer , compact forms . With few structure , 10 feet or tall on which to expose the older and magniloquent varieties , I have moved to short clematis that can be grow in pots , on small trellises and column , or allowed to trail along the ground . They can enhance and beautify a pocket-size slice of garden architecture and are a arrant example of “ bigger is not always just ” . I have find that a lightpruningafter their initial flush leads to a better late - season bloom ( whether they belong to pruning Group 2 or 3 ) . I currently have over 64 clematis plants and 41 variety , and I am compiling my 2018 “ Wish List ” . The clematis picture here , were planted last class . ”
