Awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit

Also known as Fargesioides & SUMMER SNOW.

Cultivation Advice.

These clematis prefer a good quality soil with high nutrient levels and a soil which is moist but free-draining. Improve planting holes with at least 2 forkfuls of well rotted manure or garden compost and if you don't have these use a 'Soil Improver' compost. The improvement material added should be placed under the root of the plant not around it. This encourages the roots to grow downwards and remain deep and cool during summer. There is no need to deadhead these clematis, however if they appear to have finished flowering earlier than you expected, there is no harm in giving them a light trim to encourage new growth and a secondary flowering late in the autumn.

About Our Plants

At Thorncroft the quality of our clematis plants is very important to us and we will not compromise on keeping up the high standards our customers have come to expect.

We supply plants mostly in a 3 litre container, growing on a 3 foot (1 meter) bamboo cane support, occasionally a 2 litre pot is sufficient to ensure a quality plant is produced.  Your clematis can not always be delivered in full flower, however we will aim to send you the most advanced plant for you so that you get the best display possible in the first year of our plants being in your garden.

Chelsea Chop - Also from time to time we will need to prune plants back to keep them tidy on their cane. While every effort is made to only supply plants in full leaf we may on occasions send plants that have been recently pruned or had leaves removed and will include notes to explain why this has been done.  It's known as the 'Chelsea Chop' and is commonly seen in late May and June.

Please keep in mind that some of the more specialist clematis have different habits, so these standards can vary depending on the type you are buying but it gives you a good guide on what to expect. 

From the very outset, the Thorncroft philosophy is to provide a clematis which will thrive for the customer in their garden but also to provide the expert knowledge that we have gained over the years to help advise you which clematis are the best.

We have been sending plants by mail order to customers all over the world and have build up a good knowledge of which plants perform best in various parts of the globe. We also value your experience and if would like to tell us about which clematis you grow in your country, please do, it will allow us to continue learning

Fabulous fast growing clematis

I bought this clematis a few years ago having initially seen it on a gardening programme on tv where it was described as “a real doer”. He wasn’t wrong. Its as vigorous as a montana but seems to flower for a long period. My recent purchase is already scrambling up a trellis and I expect it to be as spectacular as my original purchase.

Dormant Paul Farges

I have bought a number of clematis from you and been very happy. However the above arrived as a dormant plant with a note to that effect. The last dormant plant I received from you stayed dormant, and I wonder whether you should advise your customers that that is what you will be sending in case they wish to reconsider.

Response:

Hi Timothy,
Thanks for taking the time to submit your review.
I think it's fair to say that most customers know when to expect a deciduous plant to be dormant so don't require further explanation.
If you received a plant in a dormant state and it didn't come back into life, you should certainly tell us and we would send you another right away, and free of charge unlike some nurseries who just claim it's not their fault.
We would always want to know if someone receives a dormant plant and it does not come back into life in the spring.
Dormant or not, this would not effect the underlying quality of the plant.
I hope that's reassuring for you and others,
Pete
