The unpacking and planting of Clematis orientalis ‘Bill Mackenzie’
This second Clematis that I have bought from Thorncroft Clematis in Evesham, I order on the Tuesday and had three or four e-mail telling me how my order was going it dispatch on the Wednesday and arriving in Halton late Friday morning. The main reason picking this Clematis was the windy postion, arch way gate gets!
