I own about half a dozen books on clematis, including a Japanese one.
I am mostly interested in small-flowered and species clematis, so if
I could have only one, it would be the new one by Christopher
Grey-Wilson. He writes about every known species, only half of which
are currently in cultivation. With all the expeditions busy
collecting seed, those species will be coming in to cultivation, and
Grey-Wilson's book will be the only one with any information on them.
If you are mostly interested in large-flowered hybrids, then any of
the other books would be more useful for you.
