Recommend me a clematis please

[slidingdrawers]

I’ve had such great advice from this topic and hoping for some pointers re clematis.

I have a seating area which goes into a corner at the rear of our garden which is screened on two boundaries with hazel hurdles (6ft high). Aspect is south west into the corner and north coming back out and due to the hurdles it is quite sheltered. S E England.

I’d like a clematis which I’d prefer to have in a large plot in the corner to train/ramble over the hurdles to give more privacy to the whole area. Ideally white and fragrant. Happy to combine climbers to maintain foliage/flowers throughout the seasons.

Any thoughts?

Large pot, not plot.

Go for a winter one and a montana (i think that's the one that flowers through the summer).

Nothing to recommend, but just popped in to tell you about the time I took my dotty elderly neighbour to the garden centre/nursery and she told the nice young man she wanted "a big pink clitoris" for the bottom of the garden . . .

love it. She sounds like my MIL.

Taylor clematis have a really good search on their website, you can search by ultimate size (Montana will grow huge, you may want something a little more manageable!) flower colour, flowering time, scent and more.
Also star jasmine (trachelospermum) is evergreen, white flowers, highly scented, long flowering season if that's an idea?

The Advent Bells one looks nice and would flower through the winter.

Yes was thinking jasmine might be an option.

Not sure about Advent Bells but if paired with an evergreen white, could make a nice addition to the Winter months.

Montana

Presumably Montana’s growth will be limited by a pot?

I planted a small Montana Ruben in a pot in March and it has shot up my house to about nine foot high.Seems to have stopped growing now.Flowered in may.
In the back garden I planted a Montana Elizabeth in the ground which never flowered but has grown at a very slow rate and also seems more spindly than the Montana which just looks so healthy with its thicker stems and darker leaves.
Also planted eight other clematis ( I got the gardening big this year!),all group 2 and 3 and all flowering but none hugh,more like three or four foot.

I was thinking white flowers on the summer one against the evergreen of the winter flowering one, then in the winter you'd have some colour in the corner.

I would agree with the star jasmine idea. Mine is just amazing for about ten we win summer . Hard to find a clematis that would give that . Evergreen too so it's still working year round .

I have a star jasmine and it is lovely in the summer.

Jasmine it is then. Love the fragrance too so that’s a bonus. May get a winter flowering magnolia too. Thanks all.
