Possible Clematis id from Knightshayes
The names of the possible Clematis with grey-green leaves and pinkish stems
are hexapetala, ladakhiana and napaulensis. If Charlie, or indeed, anyone else recognises one of those names for such a Clematis, I'd be very grateful to know which! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |

Can't help beyond that except with a picture! -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |

He's as interested in this as we are. But no, we saw no buds at all, let alone flowers. There was a very pretty pink Clematis in flower which he tells me is C. campaniflora - delightful! He also says that seeds will be available a little later on - would you recommend a trip up there to find some? -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |

Sounds like I should pay him a return visit, pale pink campaniflora? should be white so its probably crossed with viticella but yes the seeds should be interesting several new hybrids recently with definite links to campaniflora. will take a year or two to germinate but resulting plants should be tough. -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |
