In my experience clematis flammula is boring and would be very low on
my list of choices.

Like me you are not really hot and dry enough to see it (and smell it)
at
its best

Maybe that's it Charlie and Sacha. I did not have it in a sunny spot.

Ah, could be. Ours did get quite a lot of sun and was in a spot where it
was sheltered by the largest greenhouse so the warmth of the sun wasn't
blown away by the wind, I suppose. It stopped people in its tracks often,
wondering where on earth such a powerful scent was coming from!

Shame they are not longer lived, its a pain having to remember to collect
the seeds each year just in case, I get on better with its half sister
Clematis x triternata rubromarginata, similar scent but the flowers have a
red edge and the root system seem more keen on survival!!
