Gardeners Corner Clematis Blooms..!!

LOL!! :D

 

marge thats lovely, just bought a Vyvyan Pennell, put it next to my montana elizabeth its climbing up the long storks of the montana so hope to get flowers, they look lovely mauve got a ragged look to them with gold and cream centre, as soon as they flower will have picks up.

 

Can anyone tell me what Clematis flower for the greatest length of time. We all buy large flowered hybrids, which are very showy, but I suspect that some smaller flowered varieties may be in flower for longer. What about Viticellas?

 

Well, after looking at all of these again, it makes me want to have them growing up every wall and fence in sight!

Peter, the Indecisive can't really be just one plant (or can it???) but the colour arrangement is something else, I do like it.

 

Peter you have got us all fascinated by this super Clematus picture.....I think we are desperate for an explaination.....please

 

Its a genuine photograph. When I put up a new fence about 5 years ago, I had a large bare expanse. So I planted about two Clematis per 6 foot fence panel - all at �£1.65 each from Morrisons. The result is that some like William Kennet, which is very vigorous, have become really too big, but others are have not grown that much but have just grown into each other. The pink cross is Piilu, the blue is The president, and the plain red is Dr Ruppell.

This is one of several good Clematis sites. http://www.saska.demon.co.uk/hybridns.html

 

Very good idea and it worked out and you ended up with a really lovely result Peter. The bright colours of the flowers and the leaves look so pretty against the fence.

 

Took this clematis on my balcony it got a bit wind swept for 2 days

 

This lovely bloom popped out whilst I was away last week,I think it`s a president clematis.

 

Just bought this at B&Q its called Sunset its a fairly new American variety which is long flowering
