  • Why we like this plant

    If you’re after big impact with minimal effort, 'Broughton Star' delivers in spades. It explodes into bloom in spring just as the garden is waking up, bringing vertical colour and soft scent to fences, walls, and trellises. Its vigorous habit makes it a brilliant choice for disguising eyesores or adding height and drama to a border, and it’s tough enough to handle exposed UK sites.

  • About this plant

    Clematis montana 'Broughton Star' is a fast-growing, deciduous climber prized for its unique semi-double blooms in shades of dusky rose-pink. Flowering in late spring, it creates a stunning display that can cover walls, fences, pergolas, or unsightly sheds with a cloud of colour and delicate scent. Its bronze-tinged young foliage adds extra interest early in the season, maturing to rich green. Ideal for informal gardens and cottage-style planting schemes, this clematis brings early impact and long-term garden value with very little effort.
