Is a clematis vesuvius a good plant to put next to our garage that has our gutter where the water comes out?
Question:Also, what colors do these plants come in? I noticed a neighbor of ours has a purple colored one that they wrapped up the garage wall and wrapped around their gutters on the front on their garage? Looks neat actually.
Answers:
they come in mostly purple hues but I saw a red one in a gardening catalog and a white also,if you are planting where the water comes out of a spout, try putting and elephantsear there, you will get huge leaves out of it if it gets plenty of water.
And I have my clematis growing in full sun just make sure you mulch them well.They bloomed this spring, and it was absolutely showstopping.And they do like a bit of water, also.
Clematis comes in various colors and is beautiful. If you do not have a whole lot of rain, I suppose it would be okay to place next to your garage, but I would look for a more lovely place to show it off; either way, it will work okay; they enjoy sun and shade combination.
Clematis like cool roots and would be better off to have partial shade. I have two, one in blue and the other white but have seen them in a fuchsia color also. I think that the rain spout would be alright but you could always funnel the water away if it turned out to be too much water for it, but I bet not.
