This vigorous, late flowering clematis produces a mass of cowslip-scented, bell-shaped, pale yellow flowers from July to September. An ideal climber for growing in a large, sunny walled garden, it should be pruned hard in early spring each year in all but the largest gardens.Best in full sun.

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.

To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
