Why Choose Clematis montana ‘Lovely Mum’ for Your Garden?
Clematis montana ‘Lovely Mum’ is an exuberant and generously flowering climber that creates a striking spectacle of mid‑pink, semi‑double blooms in late spring. The double‑style flowers give this variety extra fullness and texture, making it one of the most visually impactful Montana clematis for early‑season colour.

Its vigorous growth habit quickly covers walls, pergolas, fences, and arches, adding height and seasonal interest to garden structures. The lush green foliage complements the abundant flowers beautifully, creating a romantic, classic cottage garden look.
Ideal for:
Covering large walls, pergolas, and fences with an impressive floral display
Scrambling through trees or over garden structures for a naturalised effect

Growing Tips
Planting Location
Prefers full sun to partial shade. For best performance, plant where the top growth receives plenty of light and the roots remain shaded or cool.
Soil
Thrives in fertile, moist, well‑drained soil. Avoid heavy clay or waterlogged conditions.
Pruning
As a Group 1 clematis, ‘Lovely Mum’ requires only light pruning immediately after flowering to remove straggly growth and keep the plant tidy.
Support
Provide a sturdy support structure such as a trellis, pergola, arch, or fence. Tie in young shoots gently with soft ties to encourage even coverage and strong establishment.
