Words of advice: know which group it belongs to (1, 2, or 3) and clematis has difficulty climbing on supports with larger diameters (trellises) do you may need to add twine, netting or something else until the plant is established enough to wrap around itself.

A quick search found this on clematisqueen.com: <br /><br />According to the Oxford English Dictionary the correct pronunciation is CLEM-uh-tis and “a frequent mispronunciation is clem`mātis”. According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary both CLEM-uh-tis and clem-AT-tis are acceptable. However, since CLEM-uh-tis is the first one listed, this would mean it is the preferred one. Most clematarians, including two of my horticultural heroes, Tony Advent and Dan Hinkley, pronounce it CLEM-uh-tis.<br />Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-49294210319496669132013-04-27T20:43:31.801-05:002013-04-27T20:43:31.801-05:00Niobe is stunning when mixed with Bright Eyes.
...Niobe is stunning when mixed with Bright Eyes. <br /><br />I actually picked up a Jackmanii last year- I have 8 now (Snow Queen, Asao, Henryii, Nelly Moser, Bright Eyes, Niobe, Jackmanii,H.F.Young ), it's got buds on it this year. <br /><br />I may have to look for an Omoshiro at a local nursery here, that one is gorgeous.

You will be pleased with the performance and dark wine color that stands up to our extreme summer heat just fine. I also grow the native leather flower clematis. 'Omoshiro' is gorgeous! I'm looking forward to your future posts on the others.sandy lawrencenoreply@blogger.com
