PLANTS FOR PARTICULAR PLACES

We have set the catalogue out in such a way that the aspect for a given plant is specifically mentioned - i.e. Any aspect, or Sunny, or abbreviated to S (South) E (East) N (North) W (West) which should make it easier to select a specific plant for a particular situation. To further help in your decision, here is a short (but not exhaustive) list of plants that would be especially suitable for :

SCENTED CLEMATIS
We are often asked for scented clematis. Some are noticeably perfumed, some need sunshine to bring out the fragrance. The following are some of the best:
CLEMATIS FOR CUT FLOWERS

CLEMATIS IN CONSERVATORIES
Not the best place for them on a hot summer day, but if grown in containers they can always be taken outside during the summer months. These would be worth trying on a permanent basis:
