This compact clematis is ideal for patios, rockeries, hanging baskets, or larger windowboxes - and it also looks stunning when woven through the front of a border. Its small yellow, bell-shaped flowers appear over several months so will offer a long season of interest, and as they fade attractive seedheads develop. Easy and undemanding, it's also incredibly tough - perfect for colder regions or more exposed gardens.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to to choose from.
How to care for Clematis Little Lemons ('Zo14100') (PBR):
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.
