Clematis rehderiana
nodding virgin's bower / clematis (group 3)
This climber is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
- Position: full sun or partial shade
- Soil: fertile, well-drained soil, neutral soil
- Rate of growth: vigorous
- Flowering period: July to September
- Hardiness: fully hardy
This vigorous, late flowering clematis produces a mass of cowslip-scented, bell-shaped, pale yellow flowers from July to September. An ideal climber for growing in a large, sunny walled garden, it should be pruned hard in early spring each year in all but the largest gardens. Best in full sun. - 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.
- Humans: Skin irritant; Pets: Harmful if eaten
