| Hi, I still haven't decided on a clematis and I want to plant some clematis this year next to my trellis/fence. I need some names of clematis that will thrive in morning shade and afternoon sun.(West Exposure) I prefer white, cream or a very rich mauve. Thank you. |

| I have several , and the sweet autumn can't be beat. Smells wonderful and grows fast and doesn't take much care. I love mine. caroline |

| Huldine would be my choice. Most mauves will fade in afternoon sun. |

| Thank you everyone for all your help. gardengal, thanks I will check the other forum. Sorry about my cross post. I will stay in the clematis forum. Buyorsell-can I ask you why you think Huldine would be a good choice? I love the white. I think it will go lovely against my dark red cedar fence. The cedar posts are dark green. I get morning shade along the fence until around 2pm and hot afternoon sun after that. West exposure. Would it be happy there? Caroline - I like the idea of Montana because it's fast growing. Thanks again. |

| Sweet Autumn can be very invasive although some say that they have absolutely no problems with it. People either adore it or hate/curse at it. Either way, it is a huge vine and needs a LOT of space. The Huldine sounds like a better suggestion. I'm partial to Alba Luxurians. It's a Viticella with white flowers that open with a splash of green on the tips and contrasting dark purple-black anthers. Grows to 12' |
