| Any of the herbaceous, non-vining types of clematis can be used as a groundcover - integrifolia and its hybids, heracleifolia, etc. If the plant likes to vine, it will have a tendency to grow upward, so you can expect it to clamber up shrubs and perennials in the area. Be careful on mixing vigorous vining types with smaller plants as they can sometimes overwhelm them. |
