Hello

I have tried to grow clematis but they never flourish though i do follow the requirements of their roots in shade and have a fair bash at following the correct pruning regime.

I have a spot under some outdoor stairs (so shady but the higher up more sun), where a pyrocantha could provide a climbing frame, and would ask your suggestion for a suitable variety, for my bee friendly approach, as minimal pruning as necessary, not much more than 2mx2m, and evergreen if possible as foliage would act as screen to neighbours... I know i am asking a lot... but any help would be welcome and a purchase is more than likely to follow...

cheers

Hi Philip, the clematis that you have been trying with may have been young plants? (supermarket / garden centre types?)

all ours are 2 years old and fully mature which makes them garden ready 52 weeks a year.

However evergreens will only operate properly in full sun, so it will be a bit of a risk, but you can give it a go and see what happens

maybe go for avalanche as these are really strong plants

please see link below

hope this helps

As this clematis is non clinging please advise the best way to secure it to scramble up an old tree stump with wires attached across 2 branches

Thank you

Hi June, you don't say if you already have bought it from us or if you are still thinking of buying it but as all our Avalanche are about 4 feet tall at the moment and multi stemmed you should be fine. I would just separate the stems and put a 'twist tie' or 'garden twine' at around 12 inch intervals and probably put equal amounts of support both laterally and horizontally.

Hope this helps

Hello, I have bought clematis from you in the past and been very pleased with them. I have a small front garden with an obelisk (made myself out of branches) about 4-5 feet high. The spot is next to the house and has sun nearly all day. I would like something evergreen to cover the obelisk, particularly in the winter months. The green being just as important as the flowers really. What would be your best suggestions ? Regards Jan

Hi I would probably say either avalanche, freckles or jingle bells (see all 3 links below) it wont matter about the final heights as they will grow around and around the obelisk slowly getting to the top, and when they do they will start to come back down again (hope this makes sense)

as all our plants are 2 years old in 2 litre pots and fully hardy, it means that they are fully mature and can be planted at anytime of year, so the sooner they go in the better they will perform this same season.

Hope this helps

I am looking to buy a clematis- evergreen or not- any colour- which is already about 4-5 ft tall. I need to place it by a pergola which is at the end of our garden and a small plant might get nibbled by deer etc or dug up by squirrels. Please advise.
