The best clematis for every month
If we start now in June, it’s from the early large-flowered clematis that we should choose. The blue-mauve 'Perle d’Azure’ gets all-round praise. It’s the favourite of Alexis Datta, the head gardener at Sissinghurst. There are seven or eight plants on the curved Powis Wall. With weekly tying in before flowering, this clematis reaches the top of this vast wall and makes one of the best plant sights you’re likely to see.
My gardening hero Christopher Lloyd was always a big clematis fan. One of his favourites for this time of year was the reliable and long-flowering 'Prince Charles’. This is covered in light blue flowers from late June until the end of August. It looks similar and is in the same group as 'Perle d’Azur’, but those in the know think 'Prince Charles’ is even better and more reliable. It is very resistant to clematis wilt and incredibly free-flowering. It doesn’t get as gangly as 'Perle d’Azur’, and does not succumb to mildew.
'Prince Charles’ makes a fantastic combination with climbing roses or, as you’ll see at Great Dixter, growing up through shrubs, such as the equally long-flowering pink hebe 'Watson’s Pink’. Both 'Perle d’Azur’ and 'Prince Charles’ like a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Once established, they should be cut back to 18-30in in late winter.
The viticella hybrids are also just coming into flower. These tend to be in the richest colours, with petals cut from plush silk velvet, and there are some brilliant and reliable forms. There are three, all with the Award of Garden Merit (AGM), I find totally irresistible. 'Madame Julia Correvon’ is rightly popular, flowering from late June until the end of September. Like all viticellas, this is a slender, deciduous climber, perfect for shimmying up posts and through shrubs and trees. Another couple of famously rich-coloured good viticellas are 'Étoile Violette’, if you prefer a deep purple to a red-crimson, or for colour in between the two, 'Royal Velours’ in a red crimson-purple. These are both equally good, tough, reliable and free-flowering.
I have 'Étoile Violette’ with Rosa 'Cerise Bouquet’ growing up through Elaeagnus 'Quicksilver’ and it’s one of my favourite plant combinations. As a group, the viticellas are the easiest clematis to grow, wilt-resistant and happy in most soils and in positions, although they prefer sun. Pruning is easy – simply cut back to 12in in late winter.

This was one of Christopher Lloyd's clematis lessons – cut it right down after flowering. Then you'll get the lovely almond-like scent of varieties such as C. a. 'Enham Star' without being drowned out by leathery leaves. There are also good Clematis
