That is something I have to do hard this year. I wonder how much you have to prune to keep these two in bounds. They do make a great pair. I am also interested that you had her in a pot for several years as the new one I bought in Tombstone is currently n a pot. I wonder how long I can leave it there? How clever to have the clematis waiting in the wings.
