The first flush of flowers on this extremely compact clematis will often have more that a single row of petals surrounding the filigree-like eye, and as they appear in such abundance, they put on an impressive show for such diminutive plants. The second flush of flowers do tend to be singles (ie. with just one circle of petals), but their pale pink colouring looks almost luminous against the backdrop of green - particularly in the early evening. 'Filigree' is perfect for the patio - or the front of the border.
Clematis are happiest when their roots are kept cool and moist, so try to plant them where that the base of the plants will be lightly shaded by other, lower-growing species. Otherwise, use a clematis root protector, or top-dress the rootball (avoiding the immediate crown), with a generous layer of shingle or 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 - again avoiding the immediate crown.
- Humans: Skin irritant; Pets: Harmful if eaten
