Clematis, the queen of climbers.

The large-flowered climbing vines gardeners train up arches, obelisks and fences - from the classic purple Jackmanii to banded Nelly Moser and rich-red Niobe. Sorted by difficulty, with light, hardiness zone, bloom time and the pruning group each belongs to. There are 11 in the catalog.

Clematis
Keep away from pets. Toxic to cats and dogs. Clematis sap contains protoanemonin; chewing causes drooling, mouth and throat irritation, vomiting and diarrhoea - usually mild, as the bitter taste deters large intake. Keep pets from grazing the stems.
