Clematis tangutica

Large yellow bells dance in the wind as they hang delicately from this vine. No garden is complete without a climbing vine for some stunning visual interest and this yellow climber will surely do the trick. Clematis tangutica makes a stunning display of sunshine colored blooms for your trellises and walls. The golden flowers stand out even more against the medium green foliage. The flowers enjoy plenty of sun, but keep the roots cool and shaded to help this beauty thrive year after year. You could even place some flat river rocks around the base of this vine to help protect the roots from drying in the sun.

Whether you choose a container or the sunny border, a vertical structure for climbing or a horizontal expanse for meandering, this clematis is a glorious presence. Pair it with climbing roses for unparalleled summer beauty, or design a large planting with several different Clematis varieties for an even longer display of stunning color.
