Cheerful, yellow, lantern-shaped flowers, 7cm (3in) with fleshy lemon peel-like petals from July to October followed by highly decorative, silky seed heads. Clematis 'Lambton Park' is a vigorous, late-flowering climber, which looks lovely cascading over a sunny wall, pergola or arch. It also makes an excellent screening plant when grown up a fence, or for covering unsightly areas, but ideally should be grown in a sunny, sheltered position to maximise the effect of the coconut-like perfume.
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.
