Clematis Alpina Frankie

lovely again - grow in any soil is always good too

Nices ones Lulu!

love the Alpina`s lulu, i have one and they spread so well and quick to.

Am looking forward to planting them tomorrow, hope it's not quite as cold as today!

This gives a lovely display I have it, its just started to come, later than last year, perhaps its the cold weather we ve had.

I have a blue Macropetala, had it 4 years now and it's splendid......doesn't mind the shady spot it's in or the high winds. Will take a pic of it when it's in flower, it's so pretty, as you say 6d, it gives a fab display, it's like a blue waterfall.

Yes I have that one too and the pink they are lovely nice choice you ve made.

Thanks 6d, buds on them already! All planted up now, well one of the clems, the other I will plant tomorrow when I have thawed out!

Hope you have planted deeper than the pot also at 45 degree angle they grow better and survive better that way, I keep peices of roof slate on the foot of each one they like keeping cool.

I did 6d! I will put something over the roots as it's a bit of a sunny spot!!

Rhyme roots in the shade head in the sun, if it flowers before spring prune next spring if it flowers summer/winter prune after flowering

very nice, love the colour

It will soon be in flower it's got lots of buds just hope it isn't too soft having been 'brought on' in a polytunnel.....pleeeze no hard frosts!
