With its neat and compact nature, 'Guiding Promise' is a delightful choice for patio containers or meandering through mixed borders and small shrubs or roses, maintaining a perfect size without overpowering. Its deep mauve-purple blooms, delicately adorned with gently crimped edges, harmonise beautifully with showy white hydrangeas or pink roses. Named for, and celebrating the Girl Guides in the UK, this cultivar offers a second flush that extends the display right through to autumn. Ideal for novice gardeners, this clematis is hassle-free and easy to manage, making it a superb addition to any garden space.

Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.


  • Garden care:
    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.
    • Humans: Skin irritant; Pets: Harmful if eaten
