Clematis: The Montanas John Howells Dr.
Antique Collectors Club Dist A/C 2005-11-20 1870673514 / 9781870673518 Hardcover New Hardcover
Montana clematis are the most popular of all the clematis family. Vigorous, easy to plant and grow, they are free of stem rot and pruning is simple. Planted in sequence they are able to provide continuous color in the garden from April to September, with many providing an overwhelming fragrance as an added bonus. Although celebrated for their large flowers and lively growth, smaller plants have also been developed which are able to produce an equally dramatic effect but within the framework of a more compact garden where space is at a premium.This book is for the gardener, whether beginner or expert, who wishes to learn more about the general features of this group of clematis. The author explains which montanas are available, their strengths and weaknesses and which are best for an individual gardener's purpose.; Clear advice is provided on how to cultivate this group of plants and how best to display them. Coverage is also given about each plant's background and often fascinating history.Profusely illustrated throughout with superb color examples (many taken from the author's own garden), the read will soon realize the potential of these strikingly beautiful garden plants.
