Clematis 'Blue Angel'

I wish I could say it about mine Ange. I just do not have luck with clematis.
I have white Miss Bateman but not a single flower this year.

This Blue Angel looks nice and flowers seem to be quite large.

That is obviously your forte Ange...do you have them flowering throughout the year?

The large white-flowered early clematis 'Gillian Blades' has never failed for me, Klahanie. She might be worth a try. I picked her up for a few £'s in the supermarket.

I do, Meadow, but not so much luck with the large-flowered types. Most of mine are viticellas. Some of these flower earlier than others.

Lovely ... I have lost too many over the years ... clearly don't have the 'knack'!

Sorry to hear that, Shirley. Some of mine are too exuberant for the space allotted to them. I should have been more diligent in checking sizes before planting.

I think many of us can relate to that ...

A very pretty one, Ange. I do like the subtle colour too. Lovely to see an abundance of blooms.
