I would like to fill a semi shady corner with a clematis which flowers through the summer. Any suggestions please.
Many thanks

One that I want to find room for and which would look lovely in the shade is Miss Bateman - it's a beautiful glowing white with a fascinating dark maroon centre http://www.taylorsclematis.co.uk/clematis-miss-bateman.html .
It flowers in May, June and September.

Thanks Dove, will look that one up
Looked it up Dove, looks very nice. Also found another of very simular colouring called Fond Memories and a pinky one called Princess Alexandra.
Does anyone know anything about these please.
Don't know those ones Lily, but this is a pic of HF Young on my north-facing fence - it has huge blooms and flowers now and a second flush in September.
