Exquisite, pale lavender-blue flowers to 20cm in diameter, appear from May to September on this vigorous, large-flowered clematis. 'Mrs Cholmondeley' will thrive in full sun or partial shade, and it looks lovely when allowed to scramble through a larger shrub or tree - and its soft colouring means it can easily be paired with stronger purples or pink tones. - Garden care: Climbing 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. 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
