Clematis is a genus of climbing vines with showy flowers. They are popular among gardeners & over 200 species are known with more produced constantly!

They grow best when their roots are shaded but their tops are in full sun. They are generally acid-intolerant calciphyte (requiring soil rich in calcium carbonate) that grow on limestone & other basic soils.
