We have a lot of clematis in our garden. They produces lots of coverage and beautiful flowers throughout the spring and summer. In April they’re just starting to put on growth and the first to flower is Clematis Alpina. One of our favourites is ‘Frances Rivis’ which we have growing in a pot underplanted with hyacinths and daffodils. The bees seem to like the flowers but, working hard as the weather warms up, they don’t stop long enough for a photograph!
