@rosegardengirl where abouts are you because in the right spot this thrives for me in Sydney. It's a viticella type that handles the heat

I reckon it's worth a try. Look for the viticella group clematis and keep their roots cool and shaded and their head in the sun. 😊

@lylrine clematis are hungry plants and they like their heads in the sun and feet in the shade and lots of moisture 😊

@brightcolours @latebloomer thank you it is a nice one. For years I always thought that you couldn't grow clematis in Sydney until I found out about the viticella group and this one has been successful for me so far but I wish that I could grow the Jackmannii hybrids but sadly they are not for my climate
