Wanted a very large, almost decadently beautiful, clematis.

I want a clematis that has the wow factor, noting subtle, small or delicate, I have many of those as Charlie knows. What I want is in your face, beautiful to the extreme of being obscene, any ideas, colour preferred would be white but the single most important factor, is the brief in the subject line.

In article , Nick Maclaren
writes I had a "henryi", but it died :-( That comes close. As does "The President", which is an extreme purple. I once had a lonicera henryi which was the most boring plant i have ever owned, no fragrance and horrible small brown colour flowers. Hope it wasn't named after the same plant breeder as the clematis! -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Henryi and Marie bosselot as mentioned to me by Charlie and Artic White by Sacha. I will Google on suppliers round here to see if I can get them otherwise I will order them online from England. Thanks to everyone for suggestions. Judith |

It was indeed but he did not breed either plant but was a plant collector, I gather its rather the luck of the draw when one is honoured by having a plant species named after one, you could end up with something beautiful or a weed! -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |
