The only one I can grow! And boy, does it grow...

This one was planted late last year, probably in September. It survived the winter just fine, and has now grown to smother a 4-foot section of a 6-foot fence. If the fence were wider, I think the clematis would be too.

Sweet Autumn Clematis isn't one of the beautiful, large-flowered types, but it makes up in volume what it lacks in flower size. It is covered with fragrant white flowers in August and September. A mostly evergreen vine, Sweet Autumn Clematis readily reseeds and can by propagated from seed or cuttings. For a strong flush of growth in the summer, cut back to about a foot tall in the early spring. Sweet Autumn Clematis goes by a number of botanical names: Clematis terniflora, C. paniculata and C. maximowicziana. One plant is enough, really!
Everyone seems to love Sweet Autumn Clematis:
