Proper Clematis Variety For 10′ Tree Stump. Bring Life And Beauty To A Newly Lost Tree To Storm

Question

Clematis or climbing plant for a newly cut tree, leaving a 10′ trunk. I do not have knowledge of flowering vines. Have no clue what would be best but feel a few climbing vines would be a beautiful replacement for storm downed tree, 14″ dia x 10’h green stump. South side of house, wide open sun until 4-5pm, shaded by 30′ pine. would like to wrap the stump with color, different seasons, heights, color, style. maybe separate trellis in A=frame style at base to divide for sun and growth demands. Not sure, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Great idea! Whatever you do, avoid trumpet vine (trumpet honeysuckle is fine). Here are some suggestions:
