Anybody from Texas? Does Clematis do well around here (East Texas..our soil is red sand)? I want to put some on the ground around our very ugly old timey satellite dish that the previous owners left here...and let it grow up the dish and cover it:) How many plants do you think I'd need to get it going good?



Thanks! Angie
