'Miss Bateman' is a simply gorgeous, early season and large flowering clematis with elegant white blooms that have green stripes down the petals. Not one to disappoint, it will produce a second display of pretty white flowers later in the summer from August to September. A vigorous climber, this clematis has a relatively compact habit, and this makes it suitable for growing in container if space is limited, where its free-flowering nature can be put to best effect. Clematis plants make wonderful additions to any garden and can be used very effectively to screen and hide objects and to enhance other plants such as other climbers and shrubs, especially roses. Due to the compact nature of this plant, you can also plant in a pot or container on the patio, so you should not worry about finding space in your borders. Why not grow up an obelisk in a pot for a beautiful patio display? Winter hardy and free flowering, they can pretty much be left to their own devices with just a light trim in late winter/early spring trim and a prune back in the summer after flowering. Supplied as an established plant in a 15cm pot, with a supporting tripod, ready to plant.
Ornate, heavily dissected, evergreen leaves provide a superb contrast with the glistening white flowers from early spring. Clematis x cartmanii 'Avalanche' boasts some of the largest blooms of the evergreen clematis, with flowers up to 4cm in diameter. The non-clinging stems have a scrambling habit which is ideal for wandering through borders among established shrubs, or can be trained onto an obelisk for a show-stopping spring display. Height: 250cm (98). Spread: 100cm (39).
Sometimes known as the Cobra Lily, it's not hard to imagine how it got this name, resembling the forked tongue of a Cobra. A fiery, exotic and fabulous looking summer-flowering bulb, not widely known or grown, yet very easy in pots. Not entirely hardy, it will take a degree or two of frost if well-drained, so we suggest growing in pots, with added sand or gravel for drainage. Plant 3 or 4 corms in a 25-30cm diameter pot, as they will spread over 5 years or so, giving bigger and better displays. The best displays are from full sun spots, so feed and water well in warmer months. This relative of Montbretia (Crocosomia) produces lovely, deep-orange flame-like flowers in tall and showy spikes in high summer, developing to seed-pods which add autumn interest. Bring the pot inside over winter to ensure survival for following years. Supplied as a pack of 5 bulbs ready to plant out.
