I took this photo a couple of years ago in my front yard. It is of a beautiful large bloomed, repeat flowering hybrid Clematis called 'Fairy Queen' .
It blooms fairly well contiunously from Spring right through to Summer in my temperate area, and becomes semi dormant over the winter.
This particular variety does well in a pot or in the ground as long as it's roots are shaded from direct summer sun. It requires a well drained, but still moist soil and a position that allows the stems to climb up to reach the sunlight. It also needs very regular fertilising to keep it growing strong and blooming.
Clematis 'Fairy Queen is a little bit of work, but well worth it. Wouldn't you agree?
Happy Gardening
