Clematis x triternata Rubromarginata

I have this clematis growing through a very large rhododendron.

It is north facing and only receives a small amount of sun early morning. I would say it has taken about three years to get established but having been left to its own desires it is now magnificent.

This vigorous clematis has a long pedigree having been raised in 1862 and, in my opinion, has quite rightly been given the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

The flowers are small and white with red edges and produced in profusion from mid-summer to early autumn.

There are many reasons to recommend this beautiful clematis:

The flowers and foliage are small and do not weigh down its host shrub.

It will grow well in a north-facing aspect and will take full sun.

It has a beautiful scent similar to a Hawthorne. If I walk into my front garden on a warm evening when the air is damp, the whole of the front garden is filled with its perfume.

Pruning is easy, simply cut back the stems to a pair of strong buds 6in to 8in above ground level before growth begins in early spring (March to April).

Probable height 600cm and spread of 200cm.

Highly recommended, I would not want to be without it.
