A vigorous and disease resilient viticella Clematis, 'Little Nell' presents semi-nodding clusters of small, 5-7cm (2-3in) creamy-white flowers, elegantly adorned with delicate pale mauve-pink margins and make an excellent companion for roses. This strong-growing, late flowering climber with pinnate dark green leaves offers a delightful display of these delicate flowers from midsummer to early autumn.
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.
