Sounds good to me I'm not an expert - I just married one. ;-) But in fact, I've seen this done in more than one garden and if the right plants are chosen, it's spectacular. I've seen Clematis Marie Boisselot growing through a Camellia and done a major double take. Of course, if the OP decides to do that, he will have to do a little research into which Clematis will take the hacking back the Camellias will require if it's really that important to keep them small. But Camellias do make a lovely hedge - he has to check it isn't lime soil though. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |
