Here is the front yard from the sidewalk. At the rear is the entrance into the White Garden. Below you can see the new 7 ft tall English Pillars that I have added for the Artic Queen Clematis.
Isn't there a saying about planting Clematis..."face in the sun, but feet in the shade." They seem to like it out here and I think they will show up great from the street.
Below you can see the buds coming back quickly from where I bit the bullet and pruned the plant back.
Here is the bloom that I had to prune away. I think the pillars are much nicer than the tomato cages I was using. We have a friend - the local photographer - who uses the yard for engagement and bridal portraits. I am hoping she really likes the White Garden.
They are very good looking and the clematis should do well on them. My one clematis has a peony bush at it's feet that seems to keep it happy. That is a wonderful clematis flower.
