      I don't know whether or not it's a mental "hang-over" from last year when everything was about six weeks behind in the Seasons, but this year everything seems to be ahead and moving fast!!:dunno::scratch::snork:

        I'm in agreement there. Dead easy, but looks exotic.

          Hi @Spruce , I see your Rock N Roll going well now, did you leave it outside over winter? Mine has been in the greenhouse maybe it is hardy enough to live permanently outdoors?

          Also I want to grow Clematis "Freda", is it evergreen or needing any special care?

          Hi, JWK, Clematis "Freda" is from the Montana Group, it's quite vigorous and it is deciduous.
          [​IMG]

          So it has single 4 petalled flowers and will flower in late Spring and early Summer..........a nice Clematis:thumbsup::snork:

              Hi @JWK I kept the rock N Roll in the greenhouse , I have a few pots of them so I will be planting one out in very well drained spot and see what happens it should be hardy I dont see why not , foliage is very attractive just by itself.

              Montana Freda deciduous and no special care just regular tying in and this one is great if you want to cover a very large fence or kept easy trimmed also so deffo a good variety , I have seedlings of this, flowers have come out much lighter pink , still look good though.

                    Crikey - the yellow one is a total plague around here. Heaven help me if the orange one pitches up:runforhills:
