First time Clematis grower here! So lots to learn. I purchased two on sale last year from the local garden center last summer, couldn't see why they were on sale looked ok to me. After a hard prune this year they were doing fab, till the one on the middle got completely stripped last week. Went out this morning & found the reason on my good one this morning! I have no idea what type they are hopefully when the bud is fully open I can get an I.D
Yes, I have noticed that too Iamweedy, the flowers do open like saucers, and do last a long time. I think I was expecting a more creamy colour - our Guernsey cream (food) really is more cream than the colour of my flowers. Only 6 or so buds on my first year of flowering Guernsey Cream clematis, I pinched the smaller buds off this year as I want most of the growth to go into establishing the plant.
Anyone could help with an ID? It's flowering now (or just starting, but judging from other plants in the garden it's 2-3 weeks ahead of its normal flowering period).
I tried to check Taylor's clematis and some other sites for all May flowering/early group 2 clems but haven't find anything similar enough.
