  @Busy-Lizzie...Coincidentally, Karmesina is the clematis I posted about in a recent earlier post.

  I’m very pleased with the first years growth on my two new clematis as they are growing up our new pergola and I really wanted them to be a nice feature, so far so good …

  ..very nicely done, seems to be growing well in those pots..
  
  ..still rather slow here, too cold.. hopefully it will warm up soon for those of us in the East.

  I've just bought a Westerplatte.  Never had a clematis before I don't think, but needed a climber to replace the dead Trachelospermum. 
  Only about a foot or so high at the moment.
  
  I'm hoping it turns out to be a good plant 🤞

  Thanks, here's mine.
  
  Is it likely to put on much growth this season or is it a bit late now? Happy to wait but would be good to know what to expect.

  Yes you will, more when those few flowers are finished.. you might even get some later flowers..
  
  I usually fix some thin wire vertically up trellis like that, as they find it difficult to cling to thick wood battens, such as you have there..
  I also wouldn't keep logs of wood around the base.. snails hide underneath and likely eat your stems.. 
  A compost mulch around the base is beneficial if  you have any..
