Clematis for full sun.......
........To train along a fence, that won't fade too much. We like bold colours, and have just planted Sir Trevor Lawrence, but have room for at least another one. Ideally big flowers and fragrance - not at all fussy, then ! Montana 'Freda' sounds a good choice for a small flower, but will she be happy restricted to approx 6ft height by 10ft. Wide ? Incidently, this is my first post this season, as I've been busy with work. Cormaic still here ? Hope you're well. Anyway, Happy Noo Year ! Regards. -- Richard Roocroft |

Ideally big flowers and fragrance - not at all fussy, A friend of mine has "fireworks". It's about as bright as you can get and does well in sun, but sorry, no fragrance! Not fussy? Huh! Are there any large flowered and fragrant clematis? Pam in Bristol |

Can't think of any, myself. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Wide ?' *********************** The Montanas are your best bet, Get either bigger flowered deeper rose colour or the lighter same or a white. Scented?- that's pushing it a wee bit. 6ft x !0 ft?. Just the job, - it will fill that space in no time, - but, after a couple of years it will be a bit bulky, however , you can prune it I suppose. They have just made a fine show, but the flowering doesn't stay too long and you'll have to wait until next spring for another flush.

Pam in Bristol Try looking up 'Asao' large pink flowers and scented, sweet like Clematis rehderiana, although not as strong as say a honeysuckle! As for 'Freda' great montana not as big as most but sadly no scent. -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |

writes "Richard Roocroft" wrote in message .. . .......To train along a fence, that won't fade too much. *********************** -- Richard Roocroft Thanks so much to Pam, Nick, Charlie and Douglas. Meant to follow up on your suggestions, but found I couldn't resist..... Triternata Rubramarginata, Denny's Double, Fascination and Westerplatte. Instead of waiting for a Montana to flower & fill the fence next year, thought I'd go for 4 different plants, so at least *one* should do well on my heavy clay soil. Which, if your Clemmy fans, you might like to answer my next question re. Colouring, in a different thread..... Regards. Roo. -- Richard Roocroft |
