Clematis Viticella 

For precisely that reason I had no clematis but after watching Paul T on YT. I bought an evergreen 'Avalanche', Then I found supermarket rejects, cheap enough to take a chance, for pots in sheltered places and now have 17: I'm hooked (and climbing!), my wild garden will be full of colour; no elegant structures but lots of rampant hedge and tress.

Thank you Ken, I have been trying to identify a clematis that is growing next to the side kitchen door at the new place and google lens is convinced its passion flower! It's Purpurea Plena Elegans ! I knew if I searched on your channel I'd find it - just brilliant thank you so much, your vast knowledge is much appreciated, I had thought it was a cut down in Winter group, the flowers are small and it's only just started flowering a few wks ago and I thought it looked like a Viticella so I must be learning something from you :) Thanks again and take care.

Thank you so much.

I would love to hear your take on the taiga clematis and venosa violacea

Hi Ken we have a sheltered garden, however the fence panels id wish to position Vitcella is more east facing into our back garden/ patio area so the position get the morning sun. The garden in general is quite sunny and above average temperatures as sheltered . I was wondering if Vitcello would be suitable for position i am considering? Thanks

Hi Ken, I wonder if you could advise me. I've just erected a rustic rose arch and plan to grow up it two short pink scented climbers, one on either side.. I'd like to plant a clematis with each one. I was thinking of a Group 3 clematis (to make the Winter tidy up of the roses and clematis easier) so possibly a Summer flowering clematis and a later flowering viticella to extend the season. However, whilst I'd like the clematis to grow to about 8' or so, I don't want vigorous forms that would smother the roses. So would you be able to recommend two clematis, with restrained growth, in either blue or purple, deep pink, or white to complement my two roses. Many thanks.PS. Look forward to another of your videos in due course.

4:18 if I may I will acquire your book for it looks interesting
