What are they?
Have been trying to identify a trailing plant with white flowers just less
than 1 inch across which are seen probably for 6 weeks or so from March onwards in the UK. Can anyone tell me what they are? My neighbours have them but of course they don't know either. Hopefully an easy one for somebody to answer. R |

Are they permanent, or do they die back in winter? Does it root as it spreads? Deciduous or evergreen? Leaf shape and size? Colour of stems? Shape of flowers? Number of "petals"? Other features? -- Mike. |

Or do you mean something which trails down walls as opposed to trailing across the ground? In which case something like aubretis, only that's usually mauve. -- Kay |

By "trailing" do you mean "climbing"? My immediate vision was of Clematis Cartmaniii "Joe" which flowers about then in my garden. We certainly need more details as above. Pam in Bristol |

Though IME, they go on for longer than 6 weeks. Vinca? -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |
