I love clematii...this is lovely.

You are doing well to keep it going, this is a tricky one. I have no success, even though most other Clematis are ok.

Sorry to hear that Vincent.....I must say, I've given this one no particular attention, but they are slow.

i understan htis no hardy - many yeer ago i try, but it die over winter - how youf ind it?

Hi Derek - It has been hardy for me so far and it's been in for about 3 years now. The base of the plant - the rootstock - is well under the shrub I'm training it to grow into, so I suppose that is giving it some shelter from the worst of the weather. It survived last winter, which was even colder than this one I think! If you try it again, try to get a well established plant in a big pot - not one of those baby ones you can buy cheaply (or buy the small one and grow it on in a pot before planting out). Good luck.

spot on Sid -my thinkin to -i weer no chance it outsid agan until it got big roots - your coment bout winter be colder last yeer is tru for many place,but i thinkin maybe no hte far north you get- i like hte marige wiht cotinus but i do find yellow an red dose well -white for me is to loud -my sieboldii i put wiht a pink lythrum by pond -htat way hte flwer reflec in water so i get more flrs htat way cos it weer shy to flowr well -still, your one is stil alive,so hat's of to you Sid-well done

That sounds lovely - planting it by a pond so you get the reflections :-)

it work good for me Sid, cos i use grass a lot, like miscanthus, an bordre geraniums -a few lythrum an clematis an my fave bench in best pplace wiht cup of tea and dog by side,as bluedragonfly skim water an carp pass by -oh, i can feel hte sun now!

Can I come and join you?! :-)

hehehe
