Clematis are probably the most popular type of climbing plants in the UK, thanks to their beautiful flowers and ease of cultivation. The wide variety of clematis available means you can enjoy their colourful display throughout the year.

Some are rampant climbers that can be trained up a tree or wall of a house. Other types are low-growing plants that can be used at the front of borders. Some clematis are even suitable for growing in hanging baskets or pots on the patio.
