I planted my clematis in 2010 and from the start it delivered a flower or two, usually in late Spring. I trained it to grow on the trellis and it did so, a garden success. It was pretty but never splendid. This year, it’s been splendid. There's been an explosion of blowsy purple flowers blooming for more than a month now.
From the looks of the blooms, there are a few more purple flowers to still come our way. The plant is certainly sturdier than it was in its first few years but I think this year’s thriving abundance of flowers is the result of all the rain we enjoyed in May and June. I’ve taken note and will be sure to water it next Spring so that we can enjoy another season of prodigious, happy blooms.
