How does your garden grow? Ask a Clematis

Posted on May 8, 2023 by Susanne Swanson

It’s been a slow start to spring but the clematis has woken and started its annual climb

using its twining arms and little curlicue feet.

When I lived in London, I grew an assortment of Clematis varieties. Since moving away, I haven’t planted any, but I always love to see them.
Best wishes, Pete.

  Thanks, Pete. This variety has been so hearty and faithful to grow and spread and is the star of my May garden. 🙂

I was just asking about those the other day at the nursery in hopes of finding one that would survive our winters.

  This Montana Clematis has been so resilient, climbing higher each year. I wonder if it would do well in your world.
