It's the 3rd one I tried...the other 2 died, so you should definitely try again :) I've found a sheltered spot works better for our NY climate. I prune it back to about 2 or 3 feet in the spring, keep the roots mulched, or plant something to shelter them so that they don't dry out so easily. <BR/>There are 3 different types of Clematis (A, B and C) which need to be pruned differently. I read a great article about it in Garden Gate Magazine. It was really helpful.Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20997403.post-1141074729003767082006-02-27T16:12:00.000-05:002006-02-27T16:12:00.000-05:00Your clematis is goooorgeeeous.

I would love to have one growing up my arbor...maybe it's time to try again. Do you do anything special to it?Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20997403.post-1140978330614053082006-02-26T13:25:00.000-05:002006-02-26T13:25:00.000-05:00Loved reading the purple story.

My Mom made the bedspread, curtains, throw pillows etc.<BR/>I loved it and hadn't thought of it for a long time!

I had a bunch of flowers bought for me a few days ago, pink roses and purple freesias, gorgious!

Great to read, and lovely flowers.<BR/><BR/>I have to say that your last post (the fish and chip one) got my mouth watering. I had to have fish and chips for dinner tonight as a result. Ate too much and I'm still full, hours afterwards. But so worth it :)Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14015747973827058827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20997403.post-1140948006022928852006-02-26T05:00:00.000-05:002006-02-26T05:00:00.000-05:00And a right royal colour it is too.

I also love purple and pink flowers, but I like to team them with white and yellow.<BR/><BR/>What wonderful memories to have of your early years with Susie, and to be able to share experiences throughout your lives. Congratulations Susie, Barry, Erika and husband on the birth of your little boy.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901064145483995261noreply@blogger.com
