Best Plants for Morning Sun Afternoon Shade - Clematis

http://www.WildCashBack.com Best Plants for Morning Sun Afternoon Shade One of the best plants for morning sun, afternoon shade is clematis! Clematis needs 6 hours of sun on the top of it. The roots need to be shaded. So the east side of your house is perfect. You can actually plant clematis in full sun, as long as it has something to grow up on (a trellis, for example) and as long as the roots are in the shade. If you want to have it in full sun, plant some shrubs at the base of it, so that the roots are shaded. If you buy a well-established plant - at least a quart container, and a gallon container is better) you should have no problems getting it to grow well. Some people leave the foliage and trim out the dead vines that don't green up in the spring. Personally, I cut mine off about a foot from the ground in late fall before we have a freeze and mulch it, or put a flower pot over it. It comes back just fine the next spring!
