This attractive mixture of 'Nelly Moser', 'Multi Blue' (double flowered), 'Jackmanii' and 'Ville de Lyon', proves that no other vine in the garden flowers quite as exuberantly as clematis. This bunch could brighten up even the darkest corner.

If you're going to have an elegant backyard gate way, there's really no other way to dress it to the nines than covering it in bold, purple clematis. Maybe if we wish really hard, this lucky homeowner will send along a clematis cutting so we can start out own!
