Clematis @Loki ...i had to google that never heard of the name before ....talk in simple term names

 

Nearly £2 from morrisons

 

I would never buy a £1 plant again. I do think though if you want a really good clem, spend a bit more and choose the right plant for your space.

 

@ARMANDII Blame the other half as i didn't purchase them ...they flowered in the first year and since.... so i can't moan mind you LIDL's do have some good offers on plants

@Loki I can't moan at how mine have turned out, they're white and pink and well developed

​

 

These are what I potted up /on the other day .
3x Astrantia Snow Star
2X Hakonechloa aureola
Hedychium Gardnerianum
dahlia B of Oxford
Dahlia Spider women
Dahlia Art Deco
3X Iris Supreme Sultan which I am a little bit disappointed with, thought the rhizomes would be bigger.

 

Is there a clematis that’s grows in dappled shade? Could I use one to cover a water butt? As with everything else, it’s just a working theory at this stage.

Or maybe something evergreen. It would have to be compact and subtle so as not to detract from the main flower displays in front of it.

Let me know how you get on with D. Bishop of Oxford

​

 

Yes, I really liked it Gail . Had salvia guanajuato with it last year
