A hardy, deciduous clematis that delights with small, nodding, bell-shaped flowers in mid-blue shades with creamy-white centres, blooming in early spring from April to May.
Delicate blooms are followed by attractive, fluffy seedheads that persist through summer, adding additional texture and interest.
Clematis alpina has finely cut, mid-green foliage giving it a light, airy appearance. This early spring-flowering alpine clematis thrives on a north or east-facing site and is ideal for naturalising, whether grown on its own or scrambling through a strong shrub or small tree. Low-maintenance and suited to partial shade with well-drained soil, Clematis alpina is a perfect choice for woodland or cottage gardens.

Clematis need their roots to be kept cool and moist, so plant the base of these clematis in light shade or provide shading with other plants or a dressing of pebbles.
No routine pruning is necessary. If the spread of the plant needs to be restricted, prune immediately after flowering, cutting back overlong shoots to healthy buds.
Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
