yes it is amy, but i must say im not that keen on this one, maybe because the flowers are so small, so you need lots for an impact

hi morgana i may take you up on that, can they be taken up without harm?.im sure it would look lovely with more flowers,
yes i got it this year TOG and it grew very tall but straggly so i cut it back quite hard after first flowers, so maybe it will get better

Yes you can take them up with out harm best time is very earlyspring time or late winter when dormant,providing the ground is not icey, make sure you don't disturb the root and try and take earth around it with it also cut down before lifting, then you ll be fine. I have moved home around 30 times and always moved my plants with me and its been all different time of year when I have moved. I just make sure I cut back and take the earth around my plants not so as to disturb the roots. If its young to start with it won't produce many flowers.

richard mine apparently has been renamed blue tapers

That's good I didn't know you could get clematis with bell shaped flowers Sandra , the only ones I've grown before, and seen around have been the flat flowered type.

i was the same till i saw these at GCentre, just thought it was a bit differant, but if it gets better, more flowers think i will be happier
