  Masses of rich yellow, bell-shaped flowers from July to September and finely divided, mid-green leaves. One of the most popular varieties of late-flowering clematis, this variety is perfect for training over a wall, pergola or arch in full sun or partial shade. The large, silky seedheads provide interest into the winter months.
  
  
• 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.
