Wonderful introduction to clematis

I have very much enjoyed this book. Clearly, the author grows clematis and is an avid fan of them. She doesn't talk down to the reader, but offers plenty of advice in a breezy, conversational manner. This is no plain catalog-like listing of as many cultivars as possible with barebones information. This is a book to read. This book can get a new clematis grower grounded.

twining for clematis

This is a great book for the beginner and the experienced I couldn't put it down the information was practical. You can tell this is written by someone that actually grows these. The photos are great I longed for more of them. The chapters are nice you don't have to wade through the text to find what you are looking for. I liked the chapters on pairing the clematis with other plants that act as the support. This was inspired I get really tired of clematis on the trellis routine. I think every gardener that has grown or wants to grow clematis would benifit from this book. I sure did.
