@purplerallim No not a pot.. I've had it in the ground for some years..
..this is the other side, the north side.. it's trained on a 6 foot obelisk which is not visible.. I think it's one clematis I couldn't be without.. I used to grow it with a pink rose, but I've changed that now to 'Bathsheba', which is too short to get in the picture..
I thought it was supposed to be cold sensitive, so I've had mine in a tub. As yours is twice the size of mine @Marlorena maybe it's being too restricted. 🤔
Ok ok, I've never heard of it being cold sensitive... I think Clematis for the most part are very hardy plants as far as our climate is concerned, apart from a few types..
I have always found 'Niobe' to be one of the easiest in various gardens I've had, and never seems to fail..
..another Clematis I have found to be incredibly easy to grow is this 'Margaret Hunt'... planted in quite dryish soil, covered in beach pebbles with the head in full sun.. I don't use slug repellents here.. I do pinch out the growing tips.. I had never heard of this Clematis until someone on an American site recommended it... funny how influence spreads across the globe..
..more of my usual.. 'Mandshurica'.. 'Margaret Hunt'.. 'Niobe' in full flush.. 'Valour'.. a recent viticella I like very much, it doesn't overwhelm like some of them.. ..two pics of 'The Vagabond'.. from yesterday..
