Golden Clematis, Russian Virgin's Bower

Clematis tangutica

This climbing clematis bears yellow flowers in summer: a versatile flowering vine for trellises, fences, arbours, and vertical garden structures.

  • Large yellow flowers open in summer; deadhead or lightly prune after first bloom to encourage rebloom on large-flowered hybrids.
  • Feathery, silvery seed heads follow the flowers and provide ornamental interest through summer and into autumn.
  • Pruning group varies by cultivar, confirm the pruning group (1, 2, or 3) at purchase to ensure best bloom production.
  • Best in full sun with moist, well-drained soil.

Growing & Maintenance Tips
Clematis grow best in a rich, moist to average, well-drained soil, in full sun. Protection from intense afternoon sun is beneficial. Large flowering bi-colours, reds and blues, may fade quickly if planted in direct sun. Roots need a cool environment to thrive; it is recommended to plant a ground cover or shallow-rooted perennial to shade the roots; mulching is suggested. Plant the crown 3-5 cm below the soil's surface. Clematis are slow to establish and initially need to be tied to a trellis or fence to begin climbing.
