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.

Easy and Very long flowering!
I've had this clematis for years growing against the shed, not realising it was in the herbaceous group. Some years I missed supporting it in time and let it mass on the ground. Now I know why it did so well like this too. Always reliable. Always a profusion of shoots and flowers despite neglect. Looked better, I thought, as a low lying mass, which is how I shall now grow it.
