With gardening advice from 11am with Colin Evans on 0345 900 1041 (local rate).

Now is a good time to plan which varieties of Clematis to plant. There are many to choose from, however I recommend three new varieties which will make a colourful splash in the garden C. "Sweetheart" has beautiful large Mauve-Pink petals that flower June - September, C. "Celebration" is a summer double flowering type with cobalt Blue flowers which fade to white from May - September and C. "Tie Dye" with its large Violet Blue blooms with marbled Mauve - White rippling through the petals. This variety will grow to 10ft and will suit any aspect.

Remove dead flowers from Roses making sure you cut well down the stem to an outward facing bud. This will encourage more flower buds to develop and will ensure good flowers throughout summer.

Still keep a watch out for pests and diseases and take action when spotted and make sure all flowering plants are given regular feeds in liquid form to help with new flowers and growth.

Happy Gardening.
