Clematis viticella 'Venosa Violacea' - 2009

So beautiful.

lovely colour andrew

This is a nice one, would like to get one for my new obelisk.

are the viticella ones vigourous growers Andrew?

No, most don't get more than ten feet tall. They flower from now for ages and ages and never get clematis wilt. Prune them back hard in spring just as growth is starting and give a good feed

Yours is much healthier than mine...it still has a few buds that haven't opened and have dried up, like they did last year. At least most did open!

thanks Andrew, will look out for one i love the colour
