Clematis Avalanche
 

Recently, I have noticed a 'new' clematis named 'Avalanche'. According
to the name tag, it is hardy down to -8 degrees.

Has anyone got any experience with this one. After some really bad
cold weather my jasmin has given up the ghost and I'm looking around
for a hardy replacment which can stand the cold north east weather a
little more.

Can anyone offer other very hardy clematis other than this new
avalanche one? preferable an early flowering one.

I bought clematis 'avalanche' after Alan T sang its praises on
Gardeners' World. I have had mine through 3 winters now and I
noticed buds on it today.
It has been in a pot all this time against a fence, getting little
sun, but it is still alive!
