Hydrangea Petiolaris

Bought 3 to replace our beloved massive clematis that has gone to the garden upstairs 😟

Most clematis will regenerate after a drastic chop, but I love petiolaris too

This clematis was over 20 years old Joan, but it got disease in the roots, when we chopped it down, it was just wet mush beyond saving..I have left a tiny little bit in the ground as I'm forever the optimist lol..but the hydrangeas will be better as it's quite shaded area, and our neighbour used to get the benefit of the clematis lol. @joanboston

Oh yes our neighbours benefit from our Montana and bill Mckenzie. I have to warn them when I’m giving them a cut back as both cover their pergola too!😂

That’s what mine is...a little tip...tape it to the wall until it gets a hold..👍🏼

Its going against the fence you can see behind, but further down the fence line, I was going to use string or similar to hold it in place, that's hubby's job at the weekend to get them all planted, I'm on the sick, been signed off with the tear in my tendon in my shoulder so ican only direct at the mo 😉 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

I forgot about the shoulder...just beware they can be big and heavy..👍🏼

Yeh I'm been good lol, hubby is on heavy duties 😉 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom
