My new alpina, bought about 3 weeks ago from supermarket for £2. About 6ins of growth when I got it. Repotted and fed.
I love it.

Glad you both like. I'm glad I found one that hasn't died on me!

You have a great supermarket near you Ange! I had a similar one years ago and loved it, Mrs Markham could be it's name.

2 good supermarkets that we look at, Janey. This had no buds when I brought it home.

A good Alpina Clematis is such a joy in spring.

I agree, Karen. I like them so much more than the large-flowered summer ones.

I love all Clematis Ange, except the montanas which are just a bit too woody. I think I like the patio ones best, and the florida group which I could never keep in Scotland. I might try them again here!

You should have better luck in the south.

So very sorry I missed this one, Ange! 🤗
It’s been a hectic week at work, I’m just getting on to goy this evening.
It’s really lovely and what a fantastic bargain too! It looks so healthy and those flowers are a treat! I’m not surprised you love it!!!! It’s obviously in very good hands!
