Truth be told, Steve and Danielle don\u2019t grow many clematis. But, over their many, many years at Fine Gardening, they\u2019ve researched and written a lot about this genus. In doing so, they\u2019ve formed strong opinions about the species and cultivars that are truly top-notch. Their picks may not include the huge, in-your-face star flower-types folks first think of when they hear \u201cclematis.\u201d Instead, our podcasting duo offers insight into selections that have unique habits or interesting flower colors and shapes. By the end of this episode you\u2019ll come away wanting to try at least one of these gorgeous vines and wondering why you haven\u2019t planted them before.
