Is it a clematis? I have one that I just put in last year that looks similar (from pictures) but the new growth isn’t red.
Yes Annette, it is Clematis armandii. The white one is ‘ Snowdrift’. You can also get a pink-tinged one called ‘Apple Blossom’
I think it is the same as mine then, but my label just says Armandii. I look forward to it flowering as I put it in just after last year. Yours looks lovely.
How beautiful! This Clematis has been on my want list for sometime. I have been afraid that it might get too cold here. Yours looks wonderful! The large leathery foliage on these are fantastic. Great shot!
I must admit it is not reliably hardy when the weather gets very cold. This is my third; the first two died in very cold winters. I don’t believe I can’t grow something until I have killed it three times. So third time lucky, I hope.
Gorgeous.
It is lovely isn’t it?
Is that early? Looking exquisite.D.
No, it’s not early; it always flowers in March.
Your garden must be awash with scent, beautiful.
I do try to seek out fragrant flowers but this is beautiful too.
just beautiful:-)
I love it too.
I have been after one for some time, now, to grow over my pergola, alongside some other scented climbers. I did have one – “Apple Blossom” – but I’m afraid I lost it. I definitely need to replace it! Yours is looking lovely with loads of buds just waiting!
It is doing well this year with such a mild winter. I have to admit I have lost two Clematis armandii over the years when we have had really cold winters. It is worth persevering with though, it is gorgeous.
A beauty Chloris. I bought one for my parent’s garden many moons ago and was able to appreciate it at close quarters when I went to see my mum recently 🙂
It is lovely and very quick growing.
I’ve lost them too before now. Perhaps I might have more success down here. Gorgeous scent!
I think it would do well where you are. It does smell delicious.
Such an early bloomer for Clematis!
Yes I love the early blooming Clematis. There are several smaller flowered ones which are gorgeous at the moment too. They are varieties of Clematis cirrhosa.
Mine has just arrived in the post today, Chloris – will plant it this afternoon 🙂
Great! You will enjoy the lovely fragrant flowers next year. It is surprisingly fast growing.
I missed a lot of posts last week when I was away – this clematis is gorgeous, Chloris. I have tried it before but it succumbed to the cold or frost or something – but the energies in the garden are very different now and I’m sure it would succeed if I tried again.
This is my third attempt to grow it Cathy, it succumbed twice to extreme cold. I hope it is a bit more sheltered in this position. If I lose this one I will give up.
