Clematis Montana Mayleen in our Cheshire Garden

Clematis Montana Mayleen, we had this one in Aberdeen growing up through a Rowan tree in the back garden.
Performance in our garden
As you would expect, Clematis Montana Mayleen is thriving in Cheshire, every bit as much as it did in Aberdeen. It is one of those plants which flourish from John o’ groats to lands end, well! perhaps you have had experience which disputes this claim.
Here in our new garden this Clematis at the end of the pathway leading to our back garden appears to have been here for a number of years.
It came into bloom here at the very beginning of May, in Aberdeen it was usually the third week of May before the first blooms opened.
Although we usually have a preference for Clematis that require hard pruning in late Winter, this Montana which is performing extremely well is here to stay. Only thing is, we are placing a small garden shed in front of it, ah well, it will just have to scramble over the shed.
Plant information
The highly scented pale dusky pink blooms of Clematis Mayleen will bloom in your garden for a few weeks between late April and mid June. The leaves are a distinct bronze colour.
Clematis Montana is a vigorous, fast grower capable of actually smothering a deciduous tree to such an extent that the host could well suffer or even die.
Mayleen in my experience was not quite so ruthless and caused no harm to the Rowan tree in our Aberdeen garden which it climbed through, and after eight years still only clung to the lower branches. This one shown today in our Cheshire garden also appears to be pretty well restrained.
Mayleen carries the RHS award of garden merit and although as I have said, I prefer Clematis which requires hard pruning, Mayleen is here to stay.

Melbourne Botanic Garden
We paid a brief visit to the botanic garden in central Melbourne which is much more traditional in style and features many non-native plants. This is hardly surprising as it was established at a time when many of Melbourne’s residents wanted to be reminded of where they had come from, rather than where they now lived.

7 Favourite Show Gardens from Hampton Court
The Conceptual Gardens were the usual mix of clever ideas well-realised and those with ambitions that outran the reality. I particularly liked the interpretation of a natural limestone pavement in the Clints & Grykes Garden with the pavement (the clint) dissected by fissures (the grykes) from which shade loving plants emerged. Desolation to Regeneration was another conceptual garden that succeeded in being both innovative and understandable. I loved the way the backdrops and the planting married together to put across the process from destruction to regrowth so effectively. Quite how Chris Beardshaw manages to put together both a Chelsea and Hampton Court garden of such high standard is a mystery to lesser mortals, but he’s done it again this year. His McCarthy & Stone Garden was a cool and calm sanctuary that focused on the challenges and opportunities of later life. Between the Lines by Maurice Butcher was simple but effective with flowing
