These clematis will not fit into any other category. They occur naturally in various corners of the globe and in the main are very easy to grow and don't get wilt or any other worrying ailment. The flowers tend to be small but are either profuse or of charmingly dainty form, quite unlike their large flowered cousins. Some are very fragrant. Don't disturb the roots whilst planting.
Sorry, we are no longer able to provide a mail order service. Visitors to the nursery are welcome.

Prices: 2 litre plants from £6.50 - 4 litre plants from £12.50 - Available at the nursery only. See Introduction page for opening times
Description Flowers Height Aspect Prune
Anita: Masses of small pure white flowers giving a very pretty massed effect. Jul-Sep 10-15ft Any 3
crispa: Slender climber with small, bell-shaped flowers of purple-blue tepals curving back to show the striped white inside. Best grown through a shrub and given a mulch for winter protection. It dies down like a herbaceous variety. Unusual starlike seed heads. (Zones 6-9) Jul-Sep 4-5ft E.S.W 3
flammula: Clouds of tiny white starry flowers filling the garden with fragrance. They are followed by silvery seed heads. If grown through a tree, best left un-pruned. (Zones 6-9) Aug-Oct 20-25ft Sunny 3
florida Alba Plena: A double, outer sepals and inner rosette of greenish white. Quite unusual and needs a very sheltered site. Makes a fine conservatory plant. 3-4"diam. (Zones 7-9) Jun-Sep 6-8ft S or SW 3
florida sieboldii (syn. Florida bicolour): Stunning beauty having broad cream sepals with a large cluster of petal like anthers, changing from green to rich purple. Has been compared to the passion flower. Very sheltered site/conservatory. (Zones 7-9) Jun-Sep 6-8ft S or SW 3
fusca: Strange purple flowers like little elf caps. They are a light green inside and covered with brown furry hairs outside. Nice seedheads in autumn. Dies down like a herbaceous variety. (Zones 5 - 9) Jun-Jul 8ft Any 3
x Huldine: Transluscent pearly white flowers, freely produced with mauve shading the reverse of the petals. This colour glows through and is most attractive. Robust and free flowering. 3 - 4" diam. (Zones 4-9) Jul-Oct 10-15ft E.S.W 3
Paul Farges (syn. fargesoides): A cross between our native vitalba and fargesii, vigorous as you might expect, covered in panicles of small white flowers in summer, nice lots of seedheads later. Good for rapid and enthusiastic growth. (Zones 4-9) Jul-Aug 20+ft Any 3
rehderiana: This is so pretty. It carries panicles of small pale-yellow bells with a heavy cowslip fragrance. It is lovely grown through a small tree or shrub, or against a wall. (Zones 6-9) Aug-Oct 10-15ft Sunny 3
serratifolia: Pale primrose yellow nodding flowers with wide pointed sepals and dark purple stamens. Lemon scented and a good choice where an orientalis variety would be too enthusiastic. Very pretty seed heads. 1-2"diam. (Zones 5-9) Jul-Oct 10-12ft E.S.W 3
terniflora: Masses of white scented flowers. Needs a warm and sunny position. Semi-evergreen in mild winters and sheltered gardens. (Zones 6-9) Sep-Oct 20-25ft Sunny 3
triternata Rubramarginata: Similar to flammula, but the white flowers are edged with rosy pink. Equally fragrant and with good seed heads. (Zones 5-9) Aug-Oct 15-20ft E.S.W 3
vitalba Travellers Joy / Old Man's Beard: The native clematis, very very vigorous (you have been warned). Tiny greenish white flowers 1" diam. followed by banks of silky cream seed heads. (Zones 4-9) Jul-Aug 30-40ft Any 3
