This makes a wonderful, vining flower that is a long-lived perennial, normally living at least 25 years. The vine will grow about 8 feet tall if given something to climb and cling to. The top of the Clematis vine should be exposed to full sunlight with the roots shaded by either a ground cover or a mulch such as bark dust. Clematis Tangutica is tolerant of poor soil but needs to be well watered. This Clematis plant will flower within 3 - 4 months of planting the flower seeds, and the second year it will produce significantly more blooms.
The 3 inch yellow blooms also produce feathery silver seed heads. This vine is great for trellises and arbors, and also does well in containers as an annual. This Clematis plant will both summer and fall. Zones 5-9.
