New to me this year, and the label is down the shed either ville or fleur de lyon wondering if the middle gives it away as male or female from reading the thread earlier
..^it does look like 'Ville de Lyon' actually.. most Clematis, like most plants, are Hermaphrodite, as is yours, but some Clematis mostly from New Zealand, derived from C. forsteri and paniculata are unisexual, i.e. separate male and female plants. There were a few shown earlier.
I have Niobe @Marlorena but it's not as lush as yours. How long has that been in? Mine had to move due to re-fencing so it's its first stable year. Do you feed or top dress or anything?
@Cloggie ..Oh I've had Niobe a good few years, maybe 10.. I just give it some rose feed in Spring and a mulch if I've got any left. .. I do pinch out most of the growing tips on gr. 2 and gr. 3 Clematis, as they develop, as it does make them bush out more and stops them becoming tall and lanky.. it's good practice I think, to do this..
