Anybody from Texas? Does Clematis do well around here (East Texas..our soil
is red sand)? I want to put some on the ground around our very ugly old
timey satellite dish that the previous owners left here...and let it grow up
the dish and cover it:) How many plants do you think I'd need to get it
going good?
Thanks!

Angie, I don't think Clematis is what you would want. It's sort of a
thin, dainty looking vine. Don't think it would make a good curtain.

Plant some confederate jasmine. Its an evergreen in your area and does
nicely at covering up things like that

Clematis does very well in Texas. I don't live in E. Texas, but they do well in
this area of s.central. My C.terniflora stays evergreen in most winters, and I
have 'Jackmanii' and 'Edinburgh and I am looking fervently for C. pitcherii.

I have tried without much success to grow clematis plants. The advice
states to keep the roots in shade which I have done but the plants
always seem to fail. Can anyone recommend a particular variety of
clematis which is easy to grow? The soil is good quality, fertile, ph
neutral and I live in the north east of England.

Try one of the montana group, such as "Elizabeth". They are coming
into flower now (pink, prolific), are available in any garden centre and
many supermarkets, and are almost indestructible. Also, they get big.
very big. You've been warned...
