The photo show Clematis Armandii, or ‘Apple Blossom’. Our fellow garden member, Ted, bought and planted Apple Blossom earlier this week. He enriched the soil with lime, bone meal, mushroom manure, and sea soil; also sifted the soil, and removed a lot of rocks, which he suspects were preventing the accumulation of moisture and nutrients. He also dug in a pot weighted with rocks and gravel that will help concentrate watering and prevent the newcomer’s roots from drying out.
It was Ted who made the trellises above our gates and of course the rustic table. We are looking forward to the clematis growing quickly and adorning those trellises. Thanks Ted!
