This is a clematis we have had for about 6 years, it is growing in a pot with a metal obelisk, it is placed in a semi shaded area of the garden, it is thriving this year after Maggie pruned it back hard! really lights up its shaded surroundings!

Wow, look at all the flowers. Obviously it likes being in a pot. I had 'Nelly Moser' years ago, but the flowers tended to bleach quite badly in full sun.

That's a lovely clematis!!

I give it a treble WOW - a semi shady spot is perfect as we can all see!

ditto from me! beautiful!

Thank you ladies, it is much better suited to semi shade because as Jacinta said its flowers will bleach in full sun, it needs a certain amount of shade for those beautiful colours to come through!

that is a nice one, lovely did not realise that they would grow in semi shade

Perfection.

Thanks ladies, Rosaleen that particular variety grows really well in semi shade, and its really handy for height and colour in that part of the garden......

Looks lovely! does it have different number of petals on each flower? I thought that clematis only have 6 petals
