Welcome to our catalogue and web site.
There is enhanced information on the varieties we grow as well as more information about the groups of clematis. We hope that it provides good reference information with expanded sections on planting, pruning, care, pests and diseases.
Sorry, we are no longer able to provide a mail order service. Visitors to the nursery are welcome.
 
  THE CATALOGUE PAGES

Tangutica/Tibetana Yellow clematis and variants including what were formerly Orientalis.

There are so many hybrids that we have broken them down alphabetically into 5 separate pages

If you are looking for a specific variety they are done strictly by name. 'Mrs. George Jackman' comes under M and not J or G. 'The Bride' comes under T and not B

 
 
FURTHER INFORMATION
 
  Introduction   Pruning Advice  
  Opening Times, a bit of history and information about who we are and for visitors to the nursery.   Information on the 3 prune groups, how to prune and what to do about orphans.  
  Planting Tips   The Map Page  
  Much expanded, this page gives information on planting; in the ground, in containers, and up trees. There is also advice on care, feeding and uses of clematis as well as a Chart of Suggestions for clematis varieties most suitable for particular places.   There is a link to a printable map and directions to the Nursery.  
  Pests & Diseases   The Catalogue with Images  
  A lot of information on how to cope with various pests, wilt and other diseases.   This page and the links on it are the text only version of the catalogue. If you would like to see the same content but with thumbnail images that link to full-sized pictures of many of the plants then please go Here.  
  Conventions   Temperature Zones  
  Some conventions that are used throughout the catalogue:
  • AGM = Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit.
  • BCS CoM = British Clematis Society Certificate of Merit.
  • ® = the variety has Plant Breeders Rights.
  • D = a double flower.
  • New = denotes new to the Nursery not necessarily a new variety.
  This catalogue is written primarily for the UK. However, throughout the catalogue you will see Zone information. This is to assist people outside the UK in determining which clematis are suitable for their minimum temperature. The Temperature Zone Chart is Here.
