Clematis Biju & Fora Filigree

12 comments

You may remember last June I posted pictures of the non climbing clematis which i had purchased early spring 2012, the following is an update on them
Both have survived well flowering for a second time early September.The growth of C.Biju proving much more vigorus in the containers I have them in,so much so that it was an easy job to remove three rooted divisions from it.these were potted and have made strong young plants.
Flora Filigree is more straggly falling down over the container where as Biju has stayed compact.
the pictures show them in flower,as they are now, and the three divisions in that order.
if they survive the winter not a bad buy.

They were available early in the year from a number of suppliers, I opted for smaller plants at about £6.00 but larger were available for around £12/£15 pounds.
When purchased they were about the same size as the divisions are now

Those have done well. Must keep my eye out for them. Will they be hardy enough up here do you think Brian?

Scottish had a look at what the growers say and they rate them as hardy!.
But no mention of how hardy,Think I will move mine into a glasshouse which I try to keep just frost free.
As I have them planted the roots are almost fully exposed and not to sure what would happen if it froze solid,were they were 9/12in down in the ground it would I am sure be a whole lot different.
