Oh,Crissue,you must have read my mind!......Going toGC to buy one tomorrow to grow against fence in drive.The cotrast against Alberts gold and the Fatsia should look good! What do you think?

Hi J....This is a new one on me, but it is so rich...and ooh yes I think it will do very nicely there....Sorry about the quality of the pic...
If I can find one here, I'll certainly buy it, if not there's always Taylors...:)))

Hi , Crissue , lovely clem , don't know it ; I have a darkish red one but not as rich as this one . I've got about ten in the garden at the moment , of various sorts , but never do too well with them , apart from the Montana , oh, and the mad yellow Himalayan one .
Hope all goes well with you both .

If you put Clematis 'Niobe' in the search bow it comes up with members who have posted about it before, there are quite a few.

Hi Driad...lovely to hear from you, I expect you're busy busy...:))) We're fine...
That's a shame, do you know why the Clems don't do so well...I have a couple of Montana too, and they go like the wind...I'm a bit naughty at moving mine around, so it might help if you moved a couple to different spots, or changed the growing medium in the soil....I like the Himalayan Yellow, it's different...:)) I bought two recently, 'Ernest Markham' & 'Guernsey Cream' to go together, look forward to them next year...

Hi Moti I wouldn't mind this one too, but I don't know where I would put it though :)))

Niobe is fab! Goes through a few variations of its velvety colour as it opens to full.

Hi Lulu...thanks for that, that's even more of a bonus...:)))
