probation

Can't decide what to do with my Ramona Clematis. The Ernest Markhams are behaving themselves and producing a profusion of flowers...The Ramona...not so much! Just one little flower. Part of the problem might be that due to the fact that they are on a terrace, I have been hacking them back so I don't have a lot of unsightly leafless vines, or worse, vines covered in blackened dead leaves, all over the place in the winter. Maybe the Ramona needs old growth to get a decent first flush. We'll see what happens in a month or so. Maybe I can find a place where the dead looking vine won't be a problem and let this clematis do what it wants to do.

 

Ernest Markham, Ramona
