CLEMATIS We have decided
to stray from just growing herbaceous Clematis and are now delighted to be
able to offer climbing and scrambling forms of this wonderful plant. Pruning:
Group 1: These plants flower on growth produced the
previous year and, if needed, are just given a light pruning to remove spent
flowers immediately after flowering. Old,
woody plants can be pruned very hard - down to a couple of feet if necessary,
preferably to just above some strong, healthy growth - after flowering to
remove lots of the old, non-flowering growth. Plants may take a year or so to
fully recover and start flowering properly again. Old plants may not recover.
Group 2: These cultivars can be cut back fairly
hard - say to between 90cm to 1.2m (3-4ft) high - to just above a fat pair of
buds/single bud; the former is better. Start
pruning at the top of the plant and work your way down. Pruning is carried
out at the end of February/early March. Group 3: These can be cut back very hard - say to
23-45cm (9-18in) high - again just above a pair of buds/single bud - removing
nearly all of the previous year's growth. Start
pruning at the bottom of the plant. Pruning is carried out at the end of
February/early March. |

PAPAVER. Oriental poppies. Spectacularly eye catching plants for early
summer, these are indispensable plants in the garden. Although they flower early in the season
and so can leave gaps in the border, we have found that if you cut them back
to ground level, foliage and all, and give them a good feed of tomato food,
they will reward you with a second burst of flowers later in the season. Full sun and well drained
soil. |

Livermere’ Sumptuous, large pillar-box
