My Samaritan Jo doesn't seem to be flowering quite right this year. I suppose it's possible the cold nights we had might've affected it? Also photobombed by a baby Voluceau 🙂 This is probably a Darius (label disappeared last year) @Nollie oh yes, etoile violette is very endearing. I like your term "doer", it does seem to just get the job done with little fuss! And they're rarely out of flower throughout summer.
Everyone has such beautiful clematis that I now have a huge wish list!
This is my one year old Acropolis. Can anyone tell me whether l will get another flush if I deadhead or should I just enjoy the seed heads? Sorry for the sideways photo. I can’t seem to crop it.
@Jenny-R looking good! I've yet to get another flush out of mine, but we did go on hols end of June last year, when we had a heatwave and our son didn't do much of a job watering my patio 🙄
Thank you @mikeymustard, I will try deadheading, keeping it well watered and hope for the best. Hopefully your son will do a better job of the watering for you this year!
