A pergola draped in colorful flowering vines isn't just a spectacular sight, it provides much needed shade during the hottest months of the year. One of our favorite plants for this task, is Clematis – and there are so many beauties to choose from.
Each of the groups and species has different merits, but for a profusion of blooms throughout the summer, look to Group 3. Within this group, Clematis 'Viticella' offers a range of pretty varieties, crosses and cultivars in colors from subtle to striking that will provide a long-lasting floral canopy.
