My neighbor is moving & has offered me her beautiful plant.

Hi Mary,
Thanx for your question.  We have hot summers where I live too but we still grow clematis so I would take the plant your neighbor is offering you.  Plant it in full sun with a trellis, side dress it with composted manure and make sure it gets a good soaking once a week.  I hope this helps.
