A long standing favourite of our family and one that has done really well in our garden. Whether facing south and baked in the sun or growing in the shade of a tree, it always flourishes and provides in our experience, the longest flowering period of all clematis. A scrambler by nature, 'Arabella' requires some tying in if you want her to climb up, however growing up the middle of an obelisk she will get on with it on her own and she is a lovely plant to grow for cut flowers.
Awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit
Cultural Advice
These herbaceous cultivars are clump-forming scramblers, or semi-climbers.
In general, they have non-clinging stems and can be allowed to scramble in herbaceous borders, alternatively they can be used to clamber through open shrubs, small trees, rambler and shrub roses, or obelisks.
They are all hardy, very free flowering, trouble-free clematis, suitable to use as cut flowers and come highly recommended.

Lovely plant
I can see why this has won the award of merit. Although I’m planning on running it up a trellis I imagine it would be great for groundcover and all sorts of other areas. Very pretty and healthy plant- might buy another!
