Aristolochia macrophylla (A. durior) - Dutchman's Pipe |
| The classic old-fashioned vine for screening a porch. It is vigorous and can cover a trellis in a season or two, and the large heart-shaped leaves afford excellent shade and fall at the end of the season to let the winter sun in. The common name refers to the unusual greenish flowers which are shaped like the pipes used by Dutch colonists in North America. Z. 4-8 |

Aster carolinianus - Climbing Aster |
| A delightful vining Aster with fragrant lavender-pink daisy flowers that begin their display in late October and don't call it quits until cold weather sets in for good in early December. The narrow foliage colors a nice purple as the days grow shorter. Actually more of a sprawler than a twiner, this Aster requires some support to lean against. The Climbing Aster may reach 10-12 feet, and unlike herbaceous Asters, the woody plant parts do not die back in winter. Plant this native in a sunny spot. Z. 6-9 |

Campsis x tagliabuana Indian Summer - Hybrid Trumpet Vine |
| Recently introduced from the Netherlands, this attractive hybrid of the American and Chinese Trumpet Vines produces 3-inch orange-red flowers in large, hanging clusters nearly all summer. It's sturdy, easy to grow and flowers readily even while young, yet it reaches only some 12 feet, much less than the native Trumpet Vine, which regularly engulfs power poles in our area! Full sun in not too rich soil will give best results. Attractive to Hummingbirds. PP 13189. Z. 4-10 |

Clematis 'Asao' - Clematis |
| A new introduction from Japan, 'Asao' displays bright rosy-pink flowers, and each petal has a white bar running down the middle. Very showy, and the flowers open wide (and even recurve a bit), showing off the markings. Blooms heaviest in spring with some repeat through the summer. Z. 4-8 |

Clematis 'Haku Ookan' - Clematis |
| Distinctive flowers on this Japanese introduction. Flowers are somewhat large, but instead of the broad, rounded petals found on most garden Clematis, the petals of 'Haku Ookan' are pointed, and a striking starburst effect is created, enhanced by creamy white anthers in the center. Blooms in late spring, often with double flowers, and again towards the end of summer with single flowers. Color ranges from lilac to royal purple. Z. 4-8 |

Clematis 'Huldine' - Clematis |
| If you need a white Clematis, you can hardly do better than 'Huldine'. Scads of pearly white 3-4-inch flowers smother the vine in June, and it blooms on and on till late summer—without doubt the best repeat-blooming white Clematis. It can scramble over a spring-blooming shrub to extend its season of interest, or as the late English garden writer Christopher Lloyd recommended, you can grow it up a pole or over a high wall so that you can experience a marvelous see-through effect when viewed from below.

Clematis 'William Kennett' - Clematis |
| We usually take a pass on larger-flowered Clematis, but this one is too good to miss. Large 6-7-inch flowers are colored strong lavender blue and marked with a faint reddish-purple stripe down the center of each broad petal. The fact that this Clematis is vigorous and easy to grow, too, makes it irrestible. Z. 4-8 |

Clematis crispa - Curly Clematis |
| This southeastern native Clematis has two-inch blue, pink, or bicolor flowers in spring with some repeat bloom until fall. The dangling flowers are urn shaped, and some observers note a light fragrance as well. It is native to wet soils and should be kept constantly moist. The six to ten-foot vine dies back to the roots each winter, and it can be allowed to scramble as well as climb—either way, flowering performance is fine. Z. 6-9 |

This characteristic, in fact, recommends its use as a novel groundcover scrambling over rocks and old stumps, white flowers perched above the healthy foliage. Z. 3-7 |

| Clematis macropetala is one of our favorites, vigorous and easy to grow.

'Lagoon' is a splendid new release which produces deep blue flowers with contrasting cream-colored staminodes in the center, fresh and appealing in spring and a delight through summer. Z. 3-7 |
