    If you are thinking of planting Clematis on top of the wall for it to hang down the wall, I'm not sure if that would work, especially if the top of the wall gets a lot of sun and dries out. Clematis likes to have it's roots in shade...although the leaves and growth heads for the sunshine. You could plant it at the bottom so it would grow upwards of course.
