Just back from a weekend away when I stayed for one night with the lady
who has the national collection of clematis montana, there is one she has
been unable to find, can anyone one help?
Clematis montana 'Hidcote Purple' was originally grown at the garden
(where it has died) and was propagated and sold by Jim Fisk for many
years, it was last mentioned in the plant finder in 2001 being sold by
Taylors and Caddicks but neither nursery still have it, did anyone buy a
plant back then and may still have it?
