Now is the time to prune many types of clematis.   For easy-to-follow pruning advice click here

Our full range of clematis is now available as dormant plants for planting outdoors.  Flowering now are clematis Peppermint & Pistachio, part of the Garland range of clematis.  They are available in flower between November and February.

Garland clematis make an attractive indoor plant for the windowsill or conservatory and are delivered in flower within a gift box.  They normally flower for 6-10 weeks indoors and can then be planted outdoors to flower again the next season, or cut back hard to reflower indoors.  See here for tips on growing indoors.

The Daily Telegraph reports on the professional work our nursery undertakes to produce the best possible clematis for all seasons. Click here to read the article.

Raymond Evison has talents and interests other than growing clematis plants.  Raymond has demonstrated his talents as a photographer of wild flowers at the RHS London Show.

He was delighted to be asked by Guernsey Post to produce images for two sets of definitive postage stamps on Guernsey native flowers a few years ago.  The last set was released early this year.  This followed on from his clematis stamps in 2004.

Visitors to the RHS Flower Show in London on 13th and 14th October saw enlarged images of the stamps on a display staged by Guernsey Post and Raymond Evison and signed First Day cover stamps were available.

For pictures of the stamps see http://www.guernseystamps.com/shop/productdetails.aspx?productid=7
