Nurseries:
Because of the great success of the past Clematis Festivals, we will
organize the third Festival on August 14th, 2010. Three nurseries, one from Holland and
two from Germany will sell clematis plants in an unusual
range of choices for Holland. All three nurseries together might have about
300 different cultivars and species for sale; even new introductions will be present.
From the own nursery there will be a large selection of perennials for sale
including a wide selection of brown-leaved Dahlias.
Hans Kramer is also present with herbaceous perennial clematis.
