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.

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.
Choose a spot with well-drained, fertile soil and ensure the location receives plenty of sunlight—at least 6 hours a day—for optimal flowering.
However, they prefer their roots to be cool and shaded, so plant low-growing plants or add a layer of mulch of well-rotted compost around the base, avoiding the immediate crown.
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.
