Clematis Vitalbe


Clematis Vitalbe

Old Mans Beard, it has gone absolutely potty again this year, one big chop back at the end of the year for sure on this.

Muddy I am seriously thinking of growing in my side garden, nothing in there at the moment only grass and fence panels, think it would cover the panels well and I would not need to chop it back out there.

Michaella this is the only true British Clematis it grows wild in the hedgerows, if you want a lot of cover this is one to go for, it is a bit like the Russian Vine plant I have. It goes absolutely crazy, but its flowers are really worth the planting. It would go really well through those chopped down Conifers you cut off last year. This one is on side of an old green shed, so each year I chop it back down to the ground because it is so prolific. Can send you some of it if you would like to try it.

the flowers are amazing and so is the seed head when it has finished, I love this plant, again it comes with a warning it is very very very strong willed.
