      How lovely. Which varieties have you got?

      I've just bought six baby ones to plant in various places around the garden.

        Stunning. I may have to get one if all goes to plan and the ones I've bought do well.

        Thank you :)

        I nipped into Morrisons this morning on my way to work and bought four more Clematis, including the Warsaw Nike and the President :cool:

        Can't remember the other ones names, will have a gander later cos they are in the car at the moment.

        I have a "Rhapsody" which I planted last February - it produced one flower last year and is looking bonny today. I have great hopes for a nice display in 2012. My intention is to view it intertwined with the Davis Austen "Buff Beauty" rose. Here's hoping...
        ps. I kept the label which says"£1.79 - buy 2 and save a pound!! Sorry, but I like a bargain too,

          I will be planting a Clematis Fragrant Oberon in a week or 2 ... was introduced in 2010, and is reputed to be highly fragrant .... does not grow tall or wide, but I have a perfect spot for that in a client's garden...

          it's evergreen aswell and can grow in any aspect
