AT LAST IT’S BACK IN STOCK – DON’T MISS OUT –

Clematis Rehderiana is a vigorous clematis that’s perplexingly rare. It flowers from late summer into autumn, producing an array of lemon-yellow, bell-shaped flowers that look like fairy skirts. This one’s a romper, and will happily colonise a house wall or fence if given sturdy support. It’s fully hardy, so no need to panic about protection in winter.Perfect for problem areas such as a north-facing wall, the roots need the shade, though the upper regions will benefit from a few hours’ sunbathing a day. If it gets out of hand, prune back the old stems in February or March, to the lowest pair of healthy buds. Don’t forget this is one big plant once it gets cracking: a drawback only if you lack the space. Allow for an eventual height and spread of 7m x 3m.

Oh! The flowers smell of cowslips, and bees and butterflies love it.
