    Has anyone else's Clematis stopped flowering? mine was looking gorgeous and since it's been battered by the rain, all the flowers have gone? don't seem to be returning either.

    Hi, Make sure you remove seed heads, and feed the plant and then you may get a second flush of flowers in August . Sadly a lot of clematis don't flower continuously. :(

    Cheers Liz, it's a shame really isn't it? they are such a beautiful flower when they actually do flower that is!!

    To me it just seems a long time to wait for another flurry of flowers, i reckon mine has only been in flower for about 2 weeks!! how about yours???? [​IMG]

    This is what mine 'did' look like whilst in flower.

    That looks beautiful! your sooooo lucky to have a garden. I've only got a yard (sniff sniff) so i try to make the most of it, but as you can see the plant is restricted to size.

    Tell me Paladin, do you remove seed heads? and if so does it re-flower?
