Henhouse said:I went through a big vine phase many years ago.. Most Passifloras in this climate can swallow a house.. so I don't do those anymore... I had a cool Clematis in a shady spot at my last house.. Clematis cirrhosa 'Freckles'. It was evergreen here.. and much cuter than this picture.. Wish I had a spot for one now.

I grow Aristolochia californica in bright shade, but I don't know how hardy it is..

A friend of mine grew the large flowered one (gigantea?), but I think it's tender... It was spectacular though...

I had one last year that was not hearty to zone 6. I planted one this year that is. Hope it thrives I really like them! I have a very tiny spot in my yard that I plant for butterfly breeding. Haven't gotten into it yet but I will someday!
