Hi Guys
Are there any Gardeners on the forum OR someone with a knowledge of gardening that could help with acquiring a plant ?
Please bare with me for these few short paragraphs to explain ..
I have moved to a house that has a reasonable sized Garden and albeit that I`ve never planted a thing in my life I have decided to tidy the place and plant some "beginner" type plants that are easy to maintain , I`ve also put up some raised beds, planted some easy to maintain shrubs etc, and am now looking to see if I can find a specific Clematis , namely this one Clematis Taiga .. I`m aware that this is a newish Clematis that was introduced into the Chelsea flower show around 2017 .. I`ve struggled to source this here in Northern Ireland
After getting to grips with this over the last few months I`ve taken a fair bit of interest and have recently planted some flowers ( Pansies , Viola Blue etc ) that will hopefully add a splash colour for the approaching Autumn and Winter .. I`ve come to realise that its not a matter of sticking any old plant in the soil and it will grow , I need to plan ahead for certain plants depending on the time of year .. My aim is to have some sort of colour all year round via Shrubs,Flowers and Clematis , just recently I potted a Clematis Freckles to hopefully grown on and introduce into the garden for winter flowering , Iv`e already planted out 2 others ie Clematis Dr Ruppel + Clematis Elsa Spath which are starting to grown nicely and am training them to intertwine along my fencing for a twin coloured approach that should look nice come spring time .. My intention is to put the Clematis Taiga (If I can source one) into a large ceramic Pot in the same fashion as displayed in the link above .... This is going to be an ongoing project ..
Thank you in advance for any help/advice .
