I love the Crystal Fountain Lizzie, and here is one of ours, started as a plug plant last year, so first year of flowering and it should carry on until 7 metres tall! Clematis Montana Grandiflora, just outside our front door.
Gosh, that's good going from a plug plant GD. I love montanas but had to remove our 'Mayleen' as it got completely out of hand and I couldn't reach it to prune it. The perfume was gorgeous.
My Clematis Cartmanii 'Avalanche' growing in a 45cm container. Trained up the shed and also on the fence which is visible on the right. Plant is in it's second year now and going through a growth spurt with several new shoots. Next year should have even more blooms
I had two Avalanche, they are beautiful. Lost one this year and the other one seems to have only just survived. Yours is a beauty @London_gardener
Thank you. I have two as well. The second is at the other end of the fence but that didn't do too good last year and barely survived. Has made a revival this season though and has sent out several new shoots. No flowers this year.... Maybe next year hopefully!
Beautiful flower on your Westerplatte BBS 😍, mine has only small buds at the moment.
My first clematis blooms of the season are from Montana 'Warwickshire Rose'. Grows well for me to cover a north facing fence, and the foliage goes a nice dark purple colour.
Interesting behaviour of my Clematis 'Saphyra Double Rose'. One one flower, this sepal hesitated between remaining attached to the flower-bud itself and growing as a leaf in its own right.
