C. montana varieties and C. alpina’s delicate nodding

summer-flowering clematis bring a bold splash of colour to obelisks
and arches, followed later in the season by viticella clematis which
produce a froth of dainty flowers. There are flowering clematis for winter,
too, and evergreen clematis to give you attractive foliage cover all year

as foxgloves, peonies and penstemons, or combine them with other climbers
– rambling roses and scented honeysuckle make perfect planting partners.
