  • About this plant

    Clematis montana 'Odorata' is a graceful, vigorous climber prized for its profusion of soft blush-pink to near-white flowers and sweet vanilla-like scent. Blooming in late spring, it creates a cascading curtain of lightly fragrant flowers that soften fences, walls, arches, or pergolas with romantic charm. Its fresh green foliage emerges early in the season and provides a lush backdrop for the delicate blooms. Exceptionally hardy and fast-growing, it’s a top choice for covering large vertical spaces with elegance and ease.

Planting guide

Plant in well-drained soil with the crown 5–8cm below the surface. Ensure a shaded base (mulch or companion plants help) and provide strong support for climbing.

Care tips

Water during prolonged dry spells in the first year. Feed with a balanced fertiliser after flowering. Mulch annually and prune lightly to shape as needed.

Winter care

No special winter care needed. Prune lightly after flowering to tidy and shape, or hard prune if space needs controlling.
