A wonderful and easy way to add architectural elegance and character to your home: an arbor placed above a window. Aside from its instant curb appeal, it is also a great way to create shade or to support your favorite climbing vine. Here, a lovely pink Clematis softens and brightens up the front of the house. Clematis is a deciduous vine that thrives in moist, well-drained soil with flowers in full sun and roots in shade. Clematis stems are hardy once established and can range in length from anything between 6ft (180 cm) to almost 20 ft (6 m). Designed by Paul Moon Design.
