I can’t follow up every link every month, so if you find one that isn’t working, let me know. I’m also very pleased to receive your additions to this page.
As our popularity grows and an increasing number of sites are linking to us, I’ve decided to group the links into four categories, other clematis societies, sites by or about Clematis enthusiasts, sites that may be of interest to clematis lovers and finally Clematis Nurseries or Nurseries that have a large number of Clematis. The Nurseries are from all over the world and some are wholesale only. I hope you find this useful.
