Pretty, nodding, crinkled flowers appear for a long period from mid summer. 'Pagoda' is perfect for using in conjunction with summer flowering roses, as these will just be starting to burst into bloom when the roses have begun to fade. The bell shaped flowers are creamy-mauve with a darker streak on the outside, and a pale creamy-pink on the inside, which becomes darker towards the edges.
Clematis need their roots to be kept cool and moist, so plant the base of these climbers in light shade or provide shading with other plants or a dressing of pebbles. 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.
