Clematis (Group 3)

Clematis rehderiana

• Position: full sun or partial shade
• Soil: fertile, well-drained soil, neutral soil
• Rate of growth: vigorous
• Flowering period: July to September
• Flower colour: pale yellow
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  This vigorous, late flowering clematis produces a mass of cowslip-scented, bell-shaped, pale yellow flowers from July to September. An ideal climber for growing in a large, sunny walled garden, it should be pruned hard in early spring each year in all but the largest gardens. Best in full sun.
  
  
• Garden care: 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 and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the plant, avoiding the immediate crown.
