Clematis patens 'H. F. Young'
Spectacular deciduous climber. Huge wedgwood blue flowers with pale yellow anthers flowering abundantly in spring and summer. Great for climbing through trees. Very pretty. They flower on last season's growth, so prune only the dead and weak stems out in late winter. Trim to shape after flowering. Best with the roots planted in the shade, and head in the sun.
