looks a bit like The President LP - I have flowers on that too, but without a close-up it's hard to identify. I'm a bit sad that because I did not trim three plants hard enough last year they were straggly at the base and only flowered high up, so I have already cut them hard back. Never mind - bet I get a good show next year.
has anyone ever seen a clematis on the red/burgandy colour scheme? I need something that colour to go beside it at this time of year. All ideas welcome
Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.” A A Milne
just been out to photo the clematis - the first is the President, the second Ernest Markham but I think they are both more strongly coloured earlier in the year. Regarding a dark red - Niobe does very well for me against a wall (last picture).
Hello Susan - sadly I no longer have my white one and can't remember it's name for the moment (possibly Marie Boisselot or something like that) but you are right, it was a big blousy beauty and wonderful at night when being white it was highly visible.

Thanks!, I am always amazed at the blue ones which seem to flower later and last longer than the pink.

Hmmm, think I have some research to do

GG thank you
I love Niobe and will definitely try and find one
i had to replace my white one this year as it completely disappeared! I bought 3 and only 2 flowered
I think it was Marie B
i love these plants tho and try to have one flowering most of the time, if I can!
