The clematis on my mailbox is such a beautiful deep purple color; take a look and see what you think.
I have a plastic coated mesh wire over my mailbox and work with the vines in Spring as they start to grow and keep them going up and over the box. I think I have more blooms than ever this year and many buds that haven't opened. I don't really cut the old vines back but let the new growth run on the old.
My other variety of clematis is growing on a trellis in my front court yard. Take a look:

Just admired your beautiful clematis flower pictures!
ReplyDeleteI love clematis. So happy that yours are doing so well. As much as I like the riotous purple, I'm drawn to the less showy lavender. The edges of the flower are so distinctive.
ReplyDeleteboth the purple and lavender are enchanting!
ReplyDeletegorgeous flowers.
I love both colors of your clematis. I just posted one of ours, it's white. Yours are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing on Simple & Sweet Fridays. Have a great week.
