Morning all, I’m sure it’s too late for this to be flowering but it’s a very welcome site 🌸

You have a lovely collection of clematis

I've just bought a couple of clematis from Aldi. It's my first, any advice for a Clematis newbie? 🙏🏻

p.s. It's a Montana Rubens says it's Spring flowering!

@jacq1075 they like to be planted deep, I always put gravel on top to keep the roots cool. Lots of water and feed them regularly. They are really easy to grow, I'm sure your will be fine. Don't forget to give them something to climb up 😊

Lovely thank you @shelleyB there's trellis at the top part of my fence. Would you suggest some Gardeners twine cross crossing across the lower part of the fence?

@jacq1075 that's a good idea yes, it will need something to grab onto or it will just flop on the ground

@clustyroen ah thank you they do look really pretty in the summer when they are all in flower and mingling in together 😊

She's now in the race 😊
