    I used to grow C. montana 'Marjorie', which has semi-double flowers in an interesting green-tinged pink.

    If you're buying 'Fragrant Oberon', try to obtain a decent sized plant. I purchased a very tiny specimen from Hayloft Plants by mail order. I found it difficult to keep going over the winter and it eventually sickened and died. I'm now on Mark II - which was also bought as a small plant, but since I got it in the T and M sale, I thought it was worth another go. It is looking more hopeful than the last effort. It actually has some new leaves on it (I'm keeping it under cover for the winter) but I'll reserve judgement until the spring.

      I've just bought this one, and stuck it in a chimney pot. It is described as creamy lemon, but looks light green in the image. I doubt it was the one you have just seen, as it don't flower 'til April. Fingers crossed.

        Pixie is a dwarf variety though. Perfect for growing in a pot, or, as in Grumpys plant, in an old chimneypot.:thumbsup:

        There are so many Clematis varieties it is easy to get confused. When I worked in the garden centre I used to carry a stock of over 110 varieties.:yess::dbgrtmb:
