Author Garden: My clematis is lonely Cricket guest posted                 I just planted a "The President" clematis in a container on my south-facing patio. I understand that the roots need to be kept cool and that may be accomplished by planting a shallow rooted friend in the same pot. Any suggestions as to what I may plant with my clematis are appreciated. I was thinking of rock cress? Seeded: 24.64.223.205 Chrissy Garden Pro! Member # 2183 posted                       I grow about 10 differnt clematis & I have used rock cress as a companion plant by making a small rock garden at the base of the clematis..keeps roots nice & cool & then grown the rock cress amoung the rocks. I have also had a lot of success with lamium at the feet of my clematis. * * * * z5b Plants: 1450 | From: Ohio | Registered: Apr 2004  |  Seeded: 12.218.222.220 Gardencrazy Garden Pro!

It is easier to control. gardencrazy * * * * my webshots ~ my photobucket Plants: 1002 | From: Virginia USA | Registered: Apr 2003  |  Seeded: 216.145.85.159
