Seeing as the roses have had their turn, I now bring you my Clematis selection. Despite the continuing hot weather (for the UK in June), the clematis are flowering and looking lovely. May I introduce:
Clematis New Love - a non-clinging herbaceous variety.
Venosa Violacea which is coping with the sun by curling its petals up.
Perle D'Azur growing over the arch.
My newest one, from the smaller Boulevard series, called Poseidon. I need to get this one into a bigger pot and given it something to climb up.
The elegant Princess Kate.
Prince Charles.
Another non-clinging herbaceous variety, Arabella.
Most are blue/purple in colour (although this wasn't an intention when I bought them) and manage to drape themselves gracefully over trellis or up obelisks. They are very obliging plants. Of course, there are also the Spring flowering varieties, but they have been featured previously.
