In this volume, John Howells attempts to bring clarity to a
confusing subject. Gardeners are bewildered with the choice of over
1000 clematis in the "Plantfinder". How can the gardener know the
characteristics, growing requirements, attractions, faults and
flowering time of so many? Some years ago the author devised a
straighforward classification of clematis by dividing them into 12
groups, a system which is now universally followed. The main part
of the book considers all 12 groups in order of flowering . Each
group has an unmistakable description and unambiguous
illustrations. A number of easy to grow clematis in each group are
described and illustrated. Understandable but brief descriptions
are given for the cultivation of each group. A knowledge of just 12
clematis, one from each group, gives the key to knowing all 1000.
With this key the gardener can quickly choose what appeals and what
suits the chosen planting area. There is also guidance on how to
buy clematis and how to develop a clematis collection. Lists of the
best clematis are provided.
