Clematis tangutica Bill McKenzie

Lovely, but I had to remove mine it was swamping everything.

I said 'like' but like Siris I found it a thug so it had to go. I am not happy that our new next door neighbour is letting hers grow through everything in our garden. I need to cut it back to the boundary but it grabs everything in sight so no way can I give her the severed strings. I need to get it cut before it starts ripening seeds. Her one is in flower now too.

I think this is one I had a few years ago at a different address. I also found it a bit of a thug, but luckily enough it was growing where it wasn't too much trouble. It is a beauty.

it is in a shady spot so doesn't seem to run riot. so far at least.
