    Does anyone know if there is a clematis for every month of the year (a different one that will flower each month)

    There certainly are Clematises which flower at different times, so with a bit of research you could get 12 to do the job.... I find the plant search on Crocus.co.uk an excellent place to go... I am looking for winter flowering ones, and have found some that flower from early to late summer!!!! I don'th think I'll end up with 12 different ones, but am hoping to get at least one in flower every month of the year!!!!

    .... one of my favourites is Jingle Bells!!!

    :cool:
