Clematis cirrhosa Freckles

Having just seen Dottyd's Freckles, have just gone to have a look at mine. Not a bud in sight, am envious.

Don't give up on them Sue yours may be in flower when ours are over !

Oct 24th 2014 last year, Amy. I did prune it earlier in the year and now some of the shoots are invisible up the adjacent tall shrub.

I have this. Is it flowering early or late? Or maybe both?

Ours started in September, which I thought was rather early? but all our other winter flowering ones have no buds at all...such an attractive clematis...

September is about normal depending on the weather ,Sue you may have some blooms up high out of sight in the shrub ....

Leave the birds to enjoy the flowers then.

Thanks, I will check mine.
