A compact, practical guide
This book packs a lot of information about one of our most diverse and popular garden plants into one slim volume accompanied with plenty of photographs.

There's lots of clear, practical information, including one of the best pruning guides around, a subject most gardeners feel they need more help with. There's some good unusual ideas and projects for using clematis in different ways to the usual growing up a fence or trellis.

The book ends with a photographic guide to lots of Clematis, ordered by flower colour. These are mainly the most popular tried and trusted older cultivars; you'll need to look elsewhere for the more modern introductions. That said, there's more than enough choice in this little volume for the most hard-bitten of Clematis enthusiasts.

A great little book.
Anybody who has been smitten by the beauty and diversity of this group of climbing plants will find this book invaluable. Squarely aimed at gardeners new to the genus, this RHS guide tells you everything you need to know about growing clematis.

My own copy is now extremely well thumbed, and friends are often dipping in to it for advice. A great little book at a fair price.
