Triternata grew at the entrance of our round garden, by late Summer it would cover a 5ft tall conifer with its small foliage and tiny flowers.
I am not always keen on climbers relying on other plants as a host, however this one seemed to cause no damage to the conifer.
Triternata Rubromarginata, raised in eighteen sixty two, it is a vigorous grower and has been given the Royal Horticultural Society’s prestigious Award of Garden Merit for outstandning excellence. This delightful Clematis produces masses of small almond scented white flowers with reddish purple edges, from mid August till early autumn.
Pruning is easy with late flowering Clematis, just cut back the stems to a pair of strong buds six to ten inches above ground level, before growth really gets going in late February early March. Nothing could be simpler and for this reason alone I seek out Clematis such as these and have very few which require the pernickety pruning.
Mind you, as far as this plant is concerned I have to admit to downright carelessness. Whilst making changes in the garden, hopefully which would result in more of a year round effect, I lifted this Clematis in a rather cack handed manner, replanting of it was unsuccessful.

The garden in Autumn this year has not been as colourful as usual. The leaves on many of the trees and shrubs lost most of their leaves before getting a chance to show off. All was not gloomy, here is a few pictures mostly taken at the end of October.

After your admiration for the clematis I showed on Six on Saturday, I wouldn’t want you to think that every clematis I had, and I have already told you there are many, was as floriferous. Clematis viticella ‘Venosa Violacea’ (above) on one of the rose arbour posts is doing OK though, albeit not in the same way as some others. However, as a very rough approximation perhaps at least 25 or 30% of the summer flowering varieties are not blooming or are looking unlikely to bloom this year – it could easily be more than that, but I am trying to be optimistic!
Clematis are showy, versatile vines that are well-known and beloved for their beautiful flowers.They’re outstanding for adding vertical accents with bright,
For those of us who garden, June is in many ways the month of reckoning, nature’s totting-up of all those cold, dark days in the horticultural trenches when we dug and divided, planted and sowed, hoed, weeded, raked and pruned in the hopes of a better garden.
Today’s featured plant is in the only spot where I feel a Wisteria would thrive in the garden, don’t have the heart to remove Clematis Blue Angel though.
Clematis is an attractive deciduous vine that can be grown in home gardens and backyards. The genus includes evergreen and herbaceous varieties, with multiple colors, forms, and flowering seasons, though most of the plant flowers between early spring and fall.
