notes
The hardy, deciduous climber Clematis montana Dark Chocolate Truffles lives up to its rather unwieldy name, with dark foliage bearing single cream flowers with soft pink edges in spring. This vigorous, fast-growing clematis needs its roots to be cool and its head in the sun, so plant with roots shaded by other plants. Use Clematis montana Dark Chocolate Truffles to add height to the garden or to provide colour to a plain background, such as a fence or wall.

- 3L
- Height: up to 600cm (19ft) x 300cm (10ft)

Insights
Clematis have their roots in the Far East. C. Viticella, arrived in Europe in the mid-16th century. Two centuries later, the Victorians bred numerous varieties and their popularity continues. The native Clematis is found in autumn hedgerows, the fluffy seed heads explaining the traditional name: Old Man’s Beard.
