Clematis

We grow a lot of clematis here at Lambley and it’s hard to imagine the garden without them. Don’t be tempted when you see Clematis flowering in the big hardware stores as they really are best planted from now. They aren’t difficult to grow once the cultural differences of each type are understood. Mind you, all need a good depth of soil to be happy and a good dusting of lime helps if like us your soil is acid. Clematis prefer a sunny or lightly shaded spot in the garden and are not bothered by frosts. Most varieties need some extra summer irrigation too. Our Clematis are very competitively priced and available only while stocks last.

Supplied in their winter dormancy for best establishment
