Hi everyone,
I've come across a photo of a lovely looking Clematis which I'd be interested in getting but I can't seem to find out which one it is.
Does anyone know what it could be? I really like the shape and deep pink colour.
Thanks,
Lucid
There is a website linked to Hull university that lists 3700 clematis and has a search facility - http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemlistsearch.cfm
I suspect it would be easier to send your picture to nurseries such as http://www.taylorsclematis.co.uk/ or http://www.kelways.co.uk/category/clematis/90/ or https://www.thorncroftclematis.co.uk/ or http://www.raymondevisonclematis.com/main/home.asp to see if they recognise it and stock it.
Looks like Ville de Lyon, widely available.
It does except that mine is darker than that. More crimson on the outer edges but that may just be a problem with photo quality.
Thanks obelixx and Richard Hodson. It does look like the Ville de Lyon - except brighter in the above photo which I'm guessing could be enhancement? I've found the Ville de Luon on Taylors Clematis so will be adding it to my shopping list.
Some clematis are notoriously difficult to photograph, but also, on many clematis the blooms change colour as they mature, Arabella is a good example.
Google...........Clematis Ville de Lyon.........then.........Images,
See how many different shades of red, all the same plant.
Camera, daylight, soils, I assume make a difference.
