Clematis 'Elsa Spath' syn. Clematis 'Blue Boy', Clematis 'Xerxes'

1 Jun 2018 • The first of the summer flowering #Clematis to flower 💜

Lovely 😊

Thank you. Unfortunately it’s climbing into a huge laurel-type shrub which I was going to prune when I got back... 🤔🤔 @pixierose

@awomanonabike are you able to peel it off the laurel, prune the laurel then put it back? Or is it winding in and out? 🤔🙏🏼

Beautiful 💜

What ever I do Christine, it will require a tall ladder and a lot of patience! @pixierose

I gave this #clematis quite a severe haircut earlier in the year, as it was very top heavy. Doesn't seem to have done it any harm 💜

Beautiful 💜💜💜

Gorgeous 💜💜

Thanks you guys 😊 It's a lovely deep purple isn't it @gjones @pelly @juliesgarden

She's a beauty 👌🏼💜 I think they appreciate a bit of a short back and sides sometimes - always seems to perk them up! 👍🏼👏🏼

This was more of a flat top Rachel 😉😂 @rachelbrooks

How very retro! 😜😂
