Customer Reviews
This is one of the best !
This is one of the best book on Clematis that I have read so far. The one mystery of Clematis is what pruning class is my Clematis is in? This book helps you solve the mystery so that you prune your Clematis correctly for the best flowering results.
A must have for Clematis
This book is excellent. The size is good, the cover is laminated. Has a great number of celmatis varieties. A must have! I've looked at the Clematis Encyclopedia also written by Toomey but I chose this one and am glad I did. Out of my 55 varieties that I have only 12 were not listed in the book, most likely because they are 'sports' of listed varieties. If you are interested in Clematis, this is a must have book.
