Clematis for Small Spaces
£20.00
Clematis have long enjoyed popularity in gardens large enough to accommodate them — and now, with the arrival of a new generation of cultivars that excel in mixed borders, containers and other small spaces, there is more reason than ever to grow them. As well as being modest in height, many of these new clematis are extremely floriferous and self-supporting, thus ensuring their value in a wide range of garden situations. Evison recommends the best clematis for compact spaces such as indoor and outdoor containers, mixed borders, deck gardens, hanging baskets and balconies, and goes on to provide detailed plant descriptions organized by flowering season. This long-awaited book celebrates a new generation of clematis and will appeal to both established enthusiasts and beginners.
