Growing 'Fragrant Spring' Clematis

Clematis perform best with in deep, moist soil where the soil is shaded and the vines grow into the sun, but montanas are tough, tolerate shade and will cope in a northerly aspect facing an open sky, as well as coastal conditions.

Give it plenty of room and a sturdy supporting structure to ramble up (or along) where that you will be able to enjoy the fabulous spring display and fragrance.

Garden Design Ideas

Scramble this up a wall or building near where you walk, so you can enjoy its abundant fragrance. Use with other late-spring bloomers such as a contrastingly coloured wisteria, or a lovely climbing rose such as Cecile brunner or as a foil to evergreen shrubs climbing up through them. They're also pretty grown through trees such as apple and pear.
