Hardiness Zone: 3 Description: A distinctive variety of the popular climber with nodding golden flowers in mid summer followed by showy plumes of white fluffy "fruit" in fall, loves to climb and puts on a dazzling performance Ornamental Features Golden Clematis features delicate nodding gold bell-shaped flowers at the ends of the branches from mid to late summer. It has green deciduous foliage. The compound leaves do not develop any appreciable fall colour. The silver fruits are carried on plumes from early fall to late winter. Landscape Attributes Golden Clematis is a multi-stemmed deciduous woody vine with a twining and trailing habit of growth. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition. This is a relatively low maintenance woody vine. It is a Type 1 clematis, meaning that it flowers on old wood of the previous season; other than trimming off obvious dieback in spring, it should only be pruned where necessary immediately after flowering. It is a good choice for attracting hummingbirds to your yard. It has no significant negative characteristics. Golden Clematis is recommended for the following landscape applications;
Planting & Growing Golden Clematis will grow to be about 10 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 24 inches. As a climbing vine, it tends to be leggy near the base and should be underplanted with low-growing facer plants. It should be planted near a fence, trellis or other landscape structure where it can be trained to grow upwards on it, or allowed to trail off a retaining wall or slope. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years. This woody vine should only be grown in full sunlight. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in both summer and winter to conserve soil moisture and protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This species is not originally from North America.
