I thought I’d post this lovely photo of Holy since it’s the Christmas season.
I grow this plant in my small garden. The holy hasn’t grown much since I planted it about four years ago so it’s only about 2.5 feet tall, but it produces lovely red berries each autumn and has beautiful glossy leaves all year round.
I’m growing a clematis beside one of my roses. In fact it’s near that lovely black hollyhock that I showed you a few days ago.
In September I noticed the vine had produced these luscious looking red berries. I never knew that clematis vines produced berries, but I’ve now noticed that a few of my other clematis vines seem to have berries on them as well. Who knew?
Yes, this is a Black Hollyhock.
Isn’t it’s dark glossy petals beautiful?
I grow this dark horse of a hollyhock between my lovely Compte de Chambord antique roses, Japanese Maple and the raspberries so it’s surrounded by shades of red and pink. It looks quite lovely among it’s companions.

I can’t remember the name of this clematis but I believe that it’s an Ernest Markham Clematis. Lovely and grows well.
