Clematis
Growing Clematis Vines describes the different varieties of clematis cultivars and explains how to propagate, plant, prune and care for them.
The British Clematis Society exists to promote the cultivation and preservation of clematis. Use their site to find out where you can see clematis or perhaps use its advice to help you get the most from your garden plants.
The International Clematis Society was formed in 1984 by Raymond Evison. The membership now covers 27 countries, providing the world-wide interest and appeal for this fascinating genus. Members come from many different cultures - from China and Japan, from Poland, Latvia and Estonia, from Germany, Great Britain and Sweden, from Australia, USA and Canada, making the Society truly international.
A single species or one of the large-flowered varieties may be trained up wires fixed against the wall of the house; the semi-shady side is best. The supports must be thin, slender, wire-like, because Clematis are leaf-stalk tendril climbers. They cannot grasp thick branches. When the leaf-stalks make contact with a twig, they begin to curve round it like a ring. This movement is caused by the stimulus the stalks get, and they always curve towards the side which has touched or been pressed by the twig. Due to this requirement for thinness of support system, it might be easier for the Clematis to climb up Chain-link fencing rather than 1" square timber in 12" squares trellis.

Fragrant Flowers:-
Clematis armandii
Clematis crispa
Clematis Early Large-Flowered 'Asao'
Clematis flammula
Clematis montana 'Elizabeth'
Clematis montana var fasciculiflora
Clematis montana grandiflora 'Alba'
Clematis montana var montana
Clematis viticella 'Betty Corning'
Clematis viticella 'Pendragon'

The Viticella group have been especially designed to suit the new-comer to growing clematis. They normally grow very well with a modicum of assistance and are virtually pest and disease free. 
The original specie comes from Southern Europe and is a variable purple in colour, the flowers are wide hanging bells produced in profusion. This character has been retained by all the hybrids. All grow to about 4 metres and can be hard pruned over the winter as is normally recommended . You may - if you wish - leave the stems longer especially if grown into a shrub. Try cutting the stems to different lengths which will increase the flowering height. None are fussy about aspect and flower about July or August for many weeks.

Clematis for small spaces by Raymond J. Evison:-
The 150 clematis featured in this book are hand-picked for their longer flowering periods, large flowers and resistance to diseases. Internationally renowned clematis breeder Raymond Evison recommends the best clematis for particular situations, such as containers, mixed borders, patios, deck gardens, hanging baskets, and balconies. Clematis associate well with a variety of other plants and the author lists suitable companion plants and explains how to achieve a compatible mix of color, shape, and other characteristics.

An illustrated encyclopedia of clematis by Mary Toomey, Everett Leeds, British Clematis Society:-
"With more than 800 Clematis species and cultivated varieties from which to choose, gardeners and growers have been inundated with options. Even more frustrating for some has been the absence of a single comprehensive reference with which to identify the numerous cultivars. This new volume, written by distinguished clematis experts and backed by the authority of the British Clematis Society, is the first picture encyclopedia on the genus to encompass the garden-worthy species and hybrids.
This book is in two sections: the first is devoted to the care and cultivation of clematis, while the second provides an A — Z directory of more than 550 plants, from the acclaimed large-flowered forms to the less-familiar shrubby, subshrubby, and herbaceous forms that are beginning to be available. Using everyday language, the authors provide plant descriptions that include information on synonyms, origin, plant habit and height, flowers, pruning group, flowering period, cultural requirements, recommended uses in the garden, and hardiness zones. The text is accompanied by more than 650 magnificent color photos, making this encyclopedia an indispensable reference and guide."

Climbing Cultivation Group:-

• Group 1 Early-flowering clematis. No Pruning - Prune after flowering to shorten stems to allotted space. This encourages new growth to flower in the following winter and early spring. Suitable for South, East or West facing on climbing trellis or wire support with well-drained soil.
• Group 2 Early to Mid-Season, large-flowered Clematis. Light Prune - Remove dead and damaged stems before growth begins in early spring and trim all remaining stems back to where strong buds are visible. These buds provide a framework of second-year shoots which, in turn, produce sideshoots that flower in late spring and early summer. The flowers may then be removed. Young shoots bear more flowers in mid and late summer at their tips. Grow to clothe a wall, arbour, trellis or pergola.
• Group 3 Late Season, large-flowered Clematis. This group includes cultivars that bear large flowers from summer to early autumn, cultivars that bear small flowers from summer to late autumn, and herbaceous midsummer to late autumn-blooming species and cultivars. Hard Prune - Cut back all the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds, 0.5 feet (0.5 feet = 6 inches = 15 cms) above soil level before growth begins in early spring. Flowers from Summer to early Autumn. Grow to clothe a wall, arbour, trellis or pergola.

Naturalize -
The practice of growing certain plants under as natural conditions as possible.
For example; daffodils are said to be naturalized when they are planted in grass and left to look after themselves.
The term is also used to describe plants from foreign countries which have established themselves so well in the country into which they have been introduced that they behave like native plants; and are able to maintain themselves without the aid of the gardener.
