I'm considering getting rid of my Clematis montana and planting some other
clematis there instead. What would be an alternative? I need it to flower
the same time as montana (ie a bit later than the alpinas), to have small
flowers, to be a lot less vigorous, but still vigorous enough to grow
above the 'slug zone', and to be happy in a cold Yorkshire climate.

The best I can do is to suggest yet another C.montana that is a bit less
vigorous. Crug have a few options such as:-

Does it have to be a clematis or would something else flowering at the right
time make a suitable substitute?
