After a long spring/early summer flowering season, we’re now enjoying the seed head of Clematis hexapetala ‘Mongolian Snowflakes’. Here it is growing in our fully sun, gravelly crevice garden.

In Tidewater Virginia, used to be 7B now 8a. Should this clematis thrive w/ some aft. shade?
As long as it isn’t too much afternoon shade. 4-6 hours of sun minimum is best
