This uncommon Clematis is a graceful, vigorous and very floriferous climber. During summer and all the way through to autumn the plant is covered with canary yellow nodding lanterns. In the autumn the flowers turn into beautiful large tufts of long silvery, silky seed heads that are just as ornamental.

Clematis vitalba is the wild cousin of our many cultivated Clematis plants. This climbing shrub has fruits with long silvery grey, feathery extensions, which stay on the plant till well into the winter. The name Old man's Beard comes of course from the fact that these downy fluffy silky balls cover the plant.

`Cameo Elegance` is a truly elegant variety. This attractive Japanese morning glory has attractive twining stems of marbled foliage which are perfectly complemented by rose-crimson blooms. Many will have white star or picotee patterns which make an excellent contrast with the distinctive, ivy-like foliage.

'Galaxy Hybrids' are energetic climbers that blooms about the same time as Spencer varieties, producing a spectacular show before summer's heat arrives; these sweet peas are perfect for bouquets and arrangements.

Boston ivy is a wonderful ornamental vine. The elegant, dark green glossy foliage is replaced with a vivid range of crimson reds in autumn. Sensational for covering walls, fences and arbors. If allowed, it will grow to impressive size and can turn the most mundane masonry building into a stately wall of foliage.

Passiflora actinia is a beautiful species that produces masses of sweetly scented flowers in a huge spring flush starting in April and lasting for months, sometimes to October. It does best in cooler conditions although it prefers to be frost free over winter will survive short mild frosts when mature.

Passiflora mollissima produces beautiful pink flowers and edible 10cm (4”) long yellow fruits, like a short banana, which gives the vine its common name. The fruits taste delicious and are considered to be the finest of passionfruit juices; they are used to flavour ice creams, drinks, and cocktails.

There are dozens of species of passion vine grown, but one that always gets a lot of attention is the Giant Granadilla Passiflora quadrangularis. One of the most beautiful passionflowers with large, fragrant flowers with deep red petals and a centre crown that contains rows of numerous white and purple rays.
