second flush of flowers clematis

Nice to have those second flowerings :o)

Thats a bonus :o)

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
sorry Terra didnt see you there lol, thanx

Great.

thanx carol

Small is beautiful and I love it , if you dont want it I ll have it lucky you 2nd flowering.

These look well established. Second flush is always worthwhile!

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.

thanx morgana, well it is young so will give it a chance :o)

Good be patient normally the alpines which I think this one is flower perfusely I have a little yellow bell one.

yes it is alpine :o)

You will have lots then l will upload my little yellow one so you can see its starting to dye off now but flowers are still there just about.

ok thanx will take a look morgana, :o))

Is this one like yours Sandra - I just did a search to see if I could find it.

wow thats lovely and is like mine but flowers look bigger, got my tag out and mine is alpina cyanea, thanks richard, i do like the look of that one :o)

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
