Articles about vines (including Clematis)
Growing clematis in hot climates
Many clematis can be grown successfully in hot climates. There are also some clematis that would rather be grown in cooler environments. As an amateur gardener I will share what I have learned over the past decade.
Dutchman's pipe - Aristolochia
I can recommend Aristolochia macrophylla to all the garden lovers seeking a climber for a semi-shaded or a shaded position (synonyms: Aristolochia durior, Aristolochia sipho). Its imposing size has earned it the nickname of the "gentry bush" in some regions of Poland.

Honeysuckle - Lonicera
The name Lonicera, commemorates Adam Lonitzer, 16th century German naturalist, the author of a well known herbal book.The genus Lonicera belongs to Caprifoliaceae family. There are known around 180 species growing in the wild on a northern hemisphere.
Ampelopsis - Ampelopsis
The plants of the genus Ampelopsis are interesting climbers with attractive foliage and fruit. They used to be classified as Vitis but later on they were re-classified in its own genus Ampelopsis, in the grape family Vitaceae.
Yellow-leafed hop - Humulus lupulus 'Aureus'
Hop is most often associated with beer as its fruit (commonly known as "a cone") is an indispensable ingredient for the production of this popular drink. Unfortunately it's less popular as a valuable garden climbing plant, especially its yellow-leafed variety 'Aureus'.
Buying climbers
Before you decide to buy and plant climbing vines, you should first determine the conditions you can provide, the characteristics they should possess and what your expectations are.
