Clematis 'Bees Jubilee'

Beautiful...💜

How do I manage this. It looks an absolute mess. My garden has been neglected for 2 years as my poor papa was I'll then passed. I now need to get some love back into my garden can anyone help. Even if it's to tell me to leave it this year and deal with it next. I just need to know how to

I cut my nans back to about 2 ft in autumn . And it doesn't look a mess at all. Im sorry fo hear about your papa 😔. @loopylauz

Oooh these are fab!! 😍

Seen them in the GC also got lady birds....👌🏼👌🏼🐝🐞

Can anyone advise. My new clematis got damaged when I moved it to paint the fence. It has about 4 small bends like the one in the pic. Do I leave it or do I cut it at the first bend?

I would leave it and see what happens 😃

I'm so tempted to wrap tape around it lol. Thanks @greenhouse I'll leave it for a bit 😀

To keep it straight @heuchra58 ??

Good job the kids have just had some lollies then @heuchra58 lol. Thanks for tip

Is this the right way to start my clematis?

You could weave it from side to side rather than straight up 👍

Ooh ok I'll do that thanks @Keely
