Insights
This vigorous, twining climber will cloak a fence within a couple of seasons, so provide enough space for it to spread out. It is a recipient of the RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence.

Care
- Clematis like full sun or partial shade and moist, but well-drained soil with their roots in the shade. For this, plant the crown 5-8cm (2-3in) beneath the soil, ideally shaded by other plants. Alternatively layer stones on the surface of the soil, which protects the roots from the sun and from drying out. Plant out of cold winds.
