Hi I am new to gardening and have planted a clematis freckles I have noticed it has started to flower in August is this normal have looked on line and in books but they say late Autumn lovely blooms can any one advice thank you Catherine
MIne flower any time they feel like it Catherine! Out of the 4 I have, at least one always has a few flowers but heaviest flowering is usually sometime between late summer and mid spring.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Hi thank you both for the quick response I am very new to gardening so it's nice to hear from people who know I keep looking on line but you only find out the basics it's the first time I have posted so did not expect any response thank you Catherine
Hi I have been given a Acer has a gift it is in a pot we have put it facing south south west it is in dappled shade but the ends off all the leaves have curled up and have gone dry and britle any advice please Catherine
I'm not an acer grower, but from what I do know I think it probably needs more shade than it's getting - someone with more acer-specific knowledge will come along soon I'm sure.
However, it may be better to start a new thread with acer in the title - that way you'll grab their attention

as Dove says. Lack of water causes the leaves to look scorched. Likely to need more shade. I've got one in far too much sun becauses the screening plants are yet to grow ( it's behind a pergola ) and it too looks scorched. But it's surviving fine.

Mine's got a few blooms on now and it does the same most years - but it has most on over the winter.
I've also got some primroses blooming at the moment
