Often seen decorating the posts of mailboxes across the state, the popular and pretty blooms of the clematis make their appearance in late spring and early summer. Ranging in hue from white to purple, blue, and deep scarlet, the flowers of this climbing perennial—which can have both single and double blooms—often grow to be as large as china saucers. Use these stunning beauties to add both height and color to any space in your garden or home.
