Nursery contributed plant descriptions

H F Young produces lovely, pale blue flowers with creamy yellow stamens. Blooms fully in late spring with a strong repeat at the end of the summer. Flowers can be up to 8 inches across! H F Young was awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit in 1993. Try growing on a large obelisk or pair with Clematis Bill Mackenzie for a charming combination. (Pennell, 1962)

Legions of big, beautiful, blue single flowers highlighted by contrasting cream-colored stamens dress this hardy, RHS award winning Clematis. Between 6 to 8 round-edged tepals extend over one another, emphasizing pointed tips and mauvish blue flipsides, each with a subtle greenish white central zone. Not as rambunctious as many cultivars, 'H. F. Young' sprouts paired, widely spaced deciduous leaves that can drape a pergola, large trellis or an obelisk in a mixed border.
