Is a clematis vesuvius a good plant to put next to our garage that has our gutter where the water comes out?

Also, what colors do these plants come in? I noticed a neighbor of ours has a purple colored one that they wrapped up the garage wall and wrapped around their gutters on the front on their garage? Looks neat actually.

they come in mostly purple hues but I saw a red one in a gardening catalog and a white also,if you are planting where the water comes out of a spout, try putting and elephantsear there, you will get huge leaves out of it if it gets plenty of water.


And I have my clematis growing in full sun just make sure you mulch them well.They bloomed this spring, and it was absolutely showstopping.And they do like a bit of water, also.
Reply:Clematis like cool roots and would be better off to have partial shade. I have two, one in blue and the other white but have seen them in a fuchsia color also. I think that the rain spout would be alright but you could always funnel the water away if it turned out to be too much water for it, but I bet not.
Reply:Clematis comes in various colors and is beautiful. If you do not have a whole lot of rain, I suppose it would be okay to place next to your garage, but I would look for a more lovely place to show it off; either way, it will work okay; they enjoy sun and shade combination.
