A hardy alternative to a tender plant

2 of 2 visitors finished, but had to guess

Checked by hand: both saved a clematis, but no clematis page says whether it survives a Leeds winter. Our automatic check didn’t register either save.

Simulated visitors are a first pass, not evidence of what real people do. They find broken paths, dead ends and confusing labels. They are more patient and more literal than people, so they can’t tell you how your app feels to use. For that, you need real people.

  1. Screen at step 1

    It says bougainvillea is tender in Leeds, so I’ll look for a hardy clematis to cover the fence instead.

    I’ll search for clematis and see if there’s one that can cope with winter in Leeds.
