Clematis 'Lambton Park'
clematis (group 3) (syn. Clematis tangutica Lambton Park)
Cheerful, yellow, lantern-shaped flowers, 7cm (3in) with fleshy lemon peel-like petals from July to October followed by highly decorative, silky seed heads. This vigorous, late-flowering clematis looks lovely cascading over a sunny wall, pergola or arch, but also makes an excellent screening plant when grown up a fence, or for covering unsightly areas. Grow in a sunny position to enhance the coconut-like perfume.
How to care for Clematis Lambton Park:
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
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.
