Kletter Rankhilfe Climbing Plant Trellis- 6m £29.99. Clematis for every month of the year | Sarah Raven. Clematis are among the showiest of climbers ­– and a garden with climbers is a place that feels as though it has come into its own. No longer a randomly selected patch of cultivated earth, it is a three-dimensional flowering world, a space that envelops you and makes you feel at home. Wouldn’t it be nice to have at least one clematis in flower all 12 months of the year, those flowering walls and curtained branches always around you? It’s perfectly possible, because this huge plant family spreads itself neatly through the calendar. Early summer If we start now in June, it’s from the early large-flowered clematis that we should choose. My gardening hero Christopher Lloyd was always a big clematis fan. 'Prince Charles’ makes a fantastic combination with climbing roses or, as you’ll see at Great Dixter, growing up through shrubs, such as the equally long-flowering pink hebe 'Watson’s Pink’.

You can buy lavender plants for May delivery here. It is essential that your lavender plants don't get "wet feet" in winter - they hate it.

They will thrive in poor, sandy soil, they are happy by the sea and in other windy places and lavender does very well on chalk. Poor soil is good, do not enrich it too much, just a bit to help the plants take root.Drainage is your first consideration when planting a lavender hedge, as this shrub hates soggy soils. Most of England is quite soggy, so you can do two things to improve it for lavender: Double digging the area with manure to improve drainage and raise the soil.Building a ridge for a hedge or mounds for single plants.

Clematis Arctic Queen - Taylors Clematis. July | 2010 | Minerva's Garden Blog. I am in Southwest Washington State, gardening zone 8, and until recently the weather has been extremely cold for this time of year and damp. Last week, it shot up to 99 degrees. The plants actually loved all that warm weather, as did I, although I was out watering vegetable beds twice a day to keep them going in the heat. Here is a little guided tour of the vegetable beds: The Cukes: Now, I know you’re being polite, but you’re probably thinking to yourself, “That bed looks mighty empty.”

And I would concur. This is due to my having to replant this bed three times before anything would grow. The Eggplant, Peppers and Green Onions: (Voted Most Likely To Succeed) So this bed looks a bit better than the last one. You see those holes and part of the leaves chewed off? The Beans: They look pretty good–about where they ought to be for this time of year and when I planted them. I use what I have to hold those strings taut in the dirt–a heavy wire u-shaped garden staple, or even tent stakes. Clematis Jackmanii - Taylors Clematis.
