My Hagley Hybrid is doing well, was only bought in May.
Bit scrawny at the base but flowering up top.
Ours got nobbled by the slugs; hopefully it'll try again next year! OTOH my Silver Moon, after I built a copper wire fence around it in desperation, seems to have done well out of slug pruning - now 6ft and lots of shoots, but only the one flower so far
Thank you for the info @bullfinch sounds like your clematis is very happy where it is. Mine is also in its second year, and actually now I can see two flower buds, so not all hope is lost 😊 Kate is a lovely name by the way 😊😊
Just been to Morrisons for some "spitfire burning gold" (beer) - which they didn't have What I did get though, was a "Samaritan jo" and an "acropolis" for £4.50 each Been umming and aahing about buying the samjo for weeks!
I'm very pleased with this clematis.. it was a neglected supermarket 9cm pot plant in May, dried up and almost dead...about 6 inches tall.. it's now 6 foot and full of blooms.. I can't photograph the whole plant so just a few flowers..
A wet & gloomy day here in Lancashire. However, 'Golden Tiara' is like a beacon at the bottom of the garden. Bought from Hawthorn's three years ago, it has been a great performer.
On the other hand, 'Bill Mackenzie' is having a quiet year. There are a few flowers emerging now, but it seems to have been putting most of its effort into growth (which is profuse) - it's still a young plant.
Can anyone recommend any other Tanguticas? I think they're great value at this time of year.
