I planted 12 new clematis yesterday that I ordered from Silver Star Vinery.
I got six large flowered ones-
The President
Asao
Bees Jubilee
Bourbon Euip018
Niobe
Ruutel
I also got six Viticellas-
Avant Garde
Etoile Violette
Kermesesina
Triternata
Venosa Violacea
Royal Velours
I only had about 5 clematis before this.
Then I set out this morning to go to a local nursery here and buy some bags of compost. Before I hit that nursery I also went to another local one looking for Hollyhocks. It was too early for hollyhocks, none to be found. But I saw the most beautulful Clematis in full bloom. Yikes, I have no self control. I bought three of them even though I just planted those twelve mail order clematis yeaterday.
I bought MRS CHOLMONDELEY, NELLIE MOSER and WILL GOODWIN. The first and last are shimmering light violet purple. Stunning. What I don't like about buying locally is that they never put the prunning group so I will have to look these all up.
