    Hi....I've got a small wooden fence, about 6ft probably and thinking of planting honeysuckle and ceanothus but was also thinking of clematis. Is there such a thing as a clematis that only grows around 6 foot so it doesn't annoy the neighbours!?
    Thank you!!

    There are loads that will fit the bill. This site gives heights.

    But a Clematis will only grow upwards if it has something to hang on to. If your fence is only 6 foot, you Clematis can't grow much taller. It will either grow along sideways, or flop down.
