Dark green fern like leaves and oh so pretty single white flowers that appear in abundance in the spring make this little Sweet Hart a must have. Its naturally scrambling habit make it perfect for draping over banks and walls and it looks great in a hanging basket. Evergreen.

As with all Clematis 'Sweet Hart' prefers to have a cool root run so it is important to keep the base of the plant well mulched. It will perform its best in a sheltered position. Growing Clematis

aka Creeping Fig

A useful plant for covering up anything ugly or unsightly - in the garden that is. Self clinging aerial roots clamber along walls, up fences, water tanks etc. Small juvenile foliage is an attractive bronze green. Grow in sun/part shade and needs protection from harsh frost. Evergreen.

This is a plant that I am never without in the garden. I prefer the small mature leaves and usually trim off the more mature rangy growth. Creeping Fig does not like harsh frost and will show signs of some stress in very cold winters but usually recovers well.
