Clematis ‘Nubia’

Earlier in the year I planted this lovely clematis in my front garden where it performed magnificently until a storm of wind and rain ruined it. I cut it right back to the ground and moved it into the back where to my amazement it started growing back. And now it’s flowering beautifully again. I suppose the lessons are, 1. clems don’t like wind and rain and 2. Cutting them hard back after a disaster in mid summer does them no harm whatsoever! I do feed with liquid fertiliser all summer long.

I saw this one in Norfolk. It is a lovely thing.

Kate, it was wrecked and looking so awful, so I had nothing to lose, but I wasn’t expecting the amount of flowers it’s producing again.
Good to see you on here again Bernie!
Thanks Angela. I think it is the closest to a red clematis. Another one I love is Mme Julia Correvon.

Really lovely colour there Karen. I used to cut my pink flowering Clematis to around two and a half feet after it flowered in May and it used to flower again in September.
