Take the opportunity to check their ties. During the summer, plants put on a good deal of girth and ties that wereloose last year may now be strangling. I find it best to use purpose made tiesthat are less likely to cut into the bark. And big, heavy climbers should beattached to proper wall plugs.

Cutting the stems cleanly while holdingthem under water is an essential start.Then you must use a clean vase. I find that proprietary powders added to the water vary in their effectiveness and that dissolving an aspirin is as good as some of them. But my experience is that the greatest benefit of all comes from changing the water frequently. It smells better too.Free time 570House plant hint >>> Switched On 540Cookery 580TV 600SoapComp Cookbook Showbiz EastTV

Lift a small part of a clump therefore,cut down any top growth and pot it up in a small pot of good compost. If you have a heated greenhouse, keep it there; if not, find a warm spot in the house. Water it regularly and you will have fresh mint to see you throughthe cold months. Free time 570House plant hint >>> Switched On 540Cookery 580TV 600SoapComp Cookbook Showbiz EastTV

The real attraction is the mass of silvery seed heads which will remain pretty through the frost and snow. Theywill need hard pruning in the spring. Clematis tangutica is one of several yellow autumn flowering varieties. Theyare all best when allowed to scramble up an old tree and prefer a slightly alkaline soil.
