| Can someone let me know whether it is possible to grow clematis and dogwood successfully in coastal Sydney or do they both need cooler winters than we have? Many thanks! |

| Dogwood, no, not cold enough; Clematis, I was successful with a jackmanii hybrid, 'Daniel Deronda' - I had two but Clematis 'wilt' got one (I saved the other) - and more successful with the white C. Spooneri when I lived at Allambie Heights in Sydney. Here, just west of Tweed HEads, I planted last winter a few, the most successful being C. Venosa Violacea; 'Fair Rosamund'; 'Miss Falconer' and 'Polish Spirit'. Also the Aussie natives, Aristata and Glycinoides, both are doing well. Try a few but do some research on clematis first, they need special attention, and also watch for the 'wilt', which is believed to be a fungal disease, Good luck! |
