The following varieties are suitable for the garden. They are reliable, easy to grow and multi-blooming, usually over a long period.
The Guernsey Clematis Nursery has bred and introduced these varieties over a few years. They have proved to be a good addition to any garden.
This multi flowering clematis has six to seven pointed deep pink sepals, each with a deeper pink central bar, and contrasting light brown anthers. The distinct deep pink always seems to glow making it a very attractive flower. The mass of flowers appear from late Spring until late Autumn and are produced in great abundance. It is a very good repeat flowering plant.
An ideal plant for growing with a great range of host plants either as free standing shrubs or as wall trained shrubs. Also looks amazing with golden or white variegated shrubs and outstanding with grey foliaged shrubs or perennials. A great plant to grow with climbing roses on an archway, where it will grow up to 5ft (1-5m) mixing well with other pinks, yellow or cream coloured roses.

Clematis grown in containers are a beautiful way to add height to a patio or courtyard garden. Choose a container 18" (45cm) approx. diameter for a single clematis plant plus support. For larger containers consider planting two or more plants per container. When choosing a container, Terracotta or wood are the best materials.
Alternatively, choose a host plant and dig a hole about 18 inches (45cm) deep.
