'Lindsay' unfurls large, star-shaped deep purple/blue blooms, some spanning 15cm (6in) wide, adorned with striking deep red anthers. This free-flowering beauty graces gardens with its fantastic floral display in early summer, offering another cycle of blooms later in the season, and would make an ideal candidate for a suitably large pot where it could scramble through a climbing rose or wall-mounted trellis.
Clematis need their roots to be kept cool and moist, so plant the base of these climbers in light shade or provide shading with other plants or a dressing of pebbles. In early spring cut back the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds about 15-20cm (6-8in) above ground level and apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the plant, avoiding the immediate crown.
