This is my clematis plant in the front yard. It is growing nicely and I am excited to see it bloom this summer with many small white flowers. I built this trellis last summer when I planted it and already need to extend it. I made the trellis out of redwood stakes you can buy at a local garden store such as Home Depot. I used copper wire to tie the crossing points and cut the bottom stakes so they would slide in the soil better. I can easily add to the trellis by building a new section that is identical and tying it to the old one. I also need to extend the trellis to the side a little as well to help the plant spread out a bit and not clump too much ( I don't want a thick bush here, but a nice spreading background of color for my yard).
