This is Durandii. It's very slow to take off and it doesn't cover itself with flowers but the blooms are so lovely. It's impossible to get the true blue that the flowers on with the camera.
May Clematis
Beautiful! I love the clarity of the photo!
Doss..what a beauty...I don't have that one yet..LOL..But LOVE the leaves on her..So big and dark green...thanks for letting us know she is slower to get established..How long have you had it growing in your gardens..and you do hard prune her ..right?...Jeanne
She's been here at least 7 years. I do hard prune her every year and this is by far the best she's been. She's definitely been a 'creeper' for more years than I expected but worth the wait. Durandii is herbacious so I wind the stems into the structure.
Ohhhhhhhhhh just lovely - love the colour!!!
This is my Montana Freda. Pretty new in my garden but doing nicely
and growing well. Beautiful flower!
Stunning Bea - I love the way the Montanas cover themselves with flowers.
She is a beaut!! Bea...Jeanne
They're both beautiful. Wouldn't the pink and blue be spectacular together?
doss: I love "Durandii"! Such a beautiful bluish/purple color.
BeaHive: What a lovely montana Clematis! This one grows a little bit shorter (20-25ft) compared to the other montanas. Perfect for smaller gardens.
