When is a good time to plant a new vine on a wall such as Silver Lace Vine or Clematis?

I Am wanting to order or buy either the Silver Lace Vine or the Clematis vine (preferably evergreen with several different bloom times for longer color) and plant them at the base of a brick wall.





When would be the time that I would best be able to find either one of these and when is the best time to plant them?





Thanks for your answers!

Plant after the last frost. You'll want it to get plenty of sun, and the morning sun is the best for them. Be sure to space them far enough apart so they don't strangulate each other....5 feet.
Reply:It is probably spring but a garden centre would confirm that. I do know that Clematis need sun on their roots(well just at ground level above the root) but you put stones round the soil/plant when you plant it.
Reply:I would advise against Silver Lace Vine, this is known as the mile a minute plant. It will take over everything and look scraggy, there is nothing you can do to make it look nice so personally I would avoid it like the plague.





Clematis armandii is a large leaved evergreen clematis that has heavily scented blooms in the winter. It grows well in the UK but does need to be carefully tied in to it's support system as the stems can be brittle and snap in high winds.





If you have a large area to cover you could also consider Akebia quinata (the chocolate vine) and Passiflora caerulea also known as the passion flower.

Reply:How big is your wall and which way does it face.





Clemantis will need at least 20 feet between plants or they will choke each other eventually.





Not so much the sun or lack of it more the cold Northern winds cause damage in winter.





End of Febuary early March, but make sure there is a lot of mulch/rotting compost in the hole. As long as the roots stay frost free your all right
