It's a lovely Clematis and I don't know why more people don't grow it. Another good,, late clowering one which is more rampant but is also scented, though not as strongly. Is C. rehederiana. This has pale yellow bellow like flowers with a cowslip perfume. Both are really valuable in a 'late' garden, as is Clerodendrum trichotomum var. fargesii, a tree like shrub that grows to about 6m, flowers in August, smells heavenly and is followed by china blue berries. It's hardy to about -15C though we've never had ours tested to that point! Thanks for those tips, Sacha. I don't have a garden big enough for the Clerodendrum trichotomum but it sounds wonderful. The C.flammula in my pic is growing round a short fence. I'm wondering if this is a self-supporting shrubby plant or if it needs to grow round something? Also, my garden is surrounded by trees and/or buildings and gets good sunlight but only perhaps 30% of the daily arc in any one position. Is that enough sun, do you think, for the clematis? |

Charlie can answer those questions more precisely than I can. But it does need some support. Ours is growing up one pillar of a pergola and while it gets plenty of sun and light, it is also situated where it is surrounded by greenhouses on two sides, the remainder of the pergola stretching down a path on the other and a couple of large trees and a yew hedge on the fourth. So I'd guess yours is going to be okay. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon (new website online) |

This has pale yellow bellow like flowers with a cowslip perfume. I put a C. rehderiana against a SE-facing wall in April 2006. It sat there and sulked, died off in winter, and didn't reappear last year or this. I reckon it's gone to the greta compost heap in the sky. As far as I can tell from the literature, it's a bit temperamental. Anyone know the secret of success with it? -- Jeff (cut "thetape" to reply) |

They do have a habit of dieing, look for a young strong growing plant and plant while growing, your wall may also have been drier than you thought, it is easy in the rain to assume a plant has been watered and I seem to remember 06 was a nice spring! -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |
