2 comments about Making the Most of Clematis.

1. Anyone growing, or thinking of growing clematis should read this book.

   Whether you're an expert gardener, or if you're a beginner like me, it provides great information for all levels. The book was most helpful this spring when I wanted to begin growing clematis. Mr. Evison's easy to follow writing, led me to choose Venosa Violcea (sp?), a perfect plant for my sunny container garden. Now that it has finished flowering, I can definitely say that I made the right choice in plants! His directions are concise, clear and complete, and I am looking forward to many more seasons of colour by following the advice in his book.

1. Still in the search mode.... looking for a book that I read in school in the mid 50's entitled Clematis. Do not know the author, just have a lasting memory of the delight of the book. Is this it?



2. Me too! I remember loving a book I read in the 60's called Clematis and was searching for it! Don't know the author.

3 comments about American Horticultural Society Practical Guides: Clematis.

1. I have become entranced with clematis in the last couple years, and have been looking through as many books as I can find to develop greater knowledge of their growth habits, pruning needs, care and colors. This book had succinct but ample explanations, clear illustrations on how to plant, prune and propagate, as well as a gallery of pictures of the flowers, grouped by color. Reading this small book, I felt I had everything I needed to know as an amateur. I now have seven different clematis in my garden, and they are among what pleases me most. The only negative was that I disagreed with the coloring of the H.F. Young plant--the one in my garden is much paler than the picture. I also would have liked to see even more photos of various flowers.



2. A very basic book covering all the fundamentals of successful clematis growing. Superb color photographs. It is a must for anyone contemplating growing clematis. The information is presented in a down to earth non-technical way. It is truly worth its purchase price - some more expensive books do not have half this much information. Certainly a bargain price - a must for anyone interested in clematis. Most books are written from a U.K. perspective but this one is indeed for the U.S. gardener.



3. Wonderful clematis photos and great information!
