These are the plants we all associate with the word 'clematis'.
They are big, bold, bright, colourful and though they look fragile
are actually perfectly hardy down to - 20degrees C. The biggest drawback
is that they can sometimes suffer from clematis wilt, a disappointing
and deeply aggravating trait though it is by no means as common as
is sometimes thought and careful feeding and siting can minimise this
problem considerably. The range of colours and the sheer size of some
of the flowers beggars belief - truly the Queen of Climbers. Treat
them well - much is expected of them and they need plenty of food
and water. In spite of their exotic appearance they are basically
hedgerow plants - the adage 'feet in shade, head in sun' is perfectly
accurate. They can be grown in containers or as specimen plants on
their own, but, being sociable, look equally good in a mixed border.
The doubled flowered forms look particularly astounding and will need
careful siting away from strong wind and driving rain. In general,
none of them like being battered though I have seen Nelly Moser and
others thriving in a deeply inhospitable garden with howling winds
coming off the Duddon Estuary. The owner said he had lost more than
half his plants but those that survived got used to the conditions,
taking a little longer to establish. There is something for everyone
here, whatever the aspect, sun or shade, short or tall. The majority
flower intermittently all summer or with a large flush of flowers
in spring, followed by a smaller display in the autumn. Temp. Zones
3/4 - 9
