Clematis 'Nelly Moser' is a popular deciduous climber with large, showy flowers that bloom from late spring to early autumn. The flowers are a distinctive mauve-pink color with a prominent central stripe of lighter pink. This clematis is suitable for growing in Irish gardens and can thrive in full sun to partial shade with well-draining soil. The vine can reach a height of up to 3m, making it perfect for adding height to a garden.

Why we like it:

• Large, striking flowers that add a pop of color to the garden

What to know:

• Prune in late winter or early spring to encourage strong growth and flower production
• Regular watering is important, especially during hot and dry spells
• Plant in well-draining soil to avoid waterlogging and root rot
• Avoid planting in very windy areas as the vines can be fragile and susceptible to damage
• Clematis wilt can be a potential issue, so keep an eye out for any signs of wilting and treat promptly if detected
