Title: Climber recommendation
Post by: AmandaLouise on June 02, 2012, 22:01

Hi there

can anyone recommend a climber that will flower June onwards, I have a montana clemetis but think because of my husbands happy hacking one Autumn day, a few years ago it has never come back like it used to.  So would like to start again with a trusty recommendation that I will look after.


Many Thanks
Amanda

What sort of aspect will the support have (NESW-facing)?  And what type of support is it (wall, tree, trellis, etc.)?

It currently has a montana clematis.  I think its north facing, and the soil isnt brilliant, it can cope with lavendar I think its acid soil.  And it is to put up a trellis on a wall.

thanks
Amanda
