Anyone Grow Clematis ?

Or even this one 

🤔 That red one looks like a Red Cardinal.....or Rebecca, but I ain’t sure. It’s a very striking colour, look good in a “hot” border👍

We don’t actually grow clematis, but we do have one. This was well established when we bought the house, over 30 years ago, and flowers every May. We’re at 1,000ft and it’s growing in an exposed spot on a west facing wall, so it’s pretty hardy.
Don’t know what it is, but expect it’s something cheap and cheerful!

It’s a Montana, a very big one by the looks😁 Great for fast growth and climbing along walls, over sheds and up into trees.

Thanks, TTDA 🙂

This was our Montana a couple of weeks ago. It's lost much of its colour now, probably due to lack of rain.

Look out for a tour of a Clematis nursery on the RHS virtual Chelsea programmes this week. 

Has this been on Brue ?

I missed one session but haven't seen it so far. It will be on Iplayer too.

This wind today has just about stripped all the flowers off the Montana, but another one has just come into bloom. Yet again we don't know its name.
