Help! Which one/ones to buy?

10 years ago

Hi there - hope someone can help?!

First question: I have an old, dead apple tree, about 10 ft tall and would like a clematis to grow up and through it. Could I plant two - one for spring/summer and one for summer/autumn, perfumed and larger flowers, only light pruning. Any suggestions of types and names please?

Second question: I also have terracotta colour 6ft panel fencing all around my (small) garden. Could I buy just one plant and then do it rather like espaliers, one stem this way, one stem that way, to cover the fencing or would you recommend two, one for this way, one for that way. Doesn't need to be scented, but would prefer large flower heads. Here again, just tidy up pruning. What colour/type/names would anyone recommend?

Thanks so much! I keep putting off buying them because I just can't decide - have never bought clematis before and there's so much choice!
