Clematis 'serratifolia' is a species native to Korea and Manchuria, introduced to the West in 1918 by the plant collector Ernest Henry Wilson. Its flowers are modest and all the more charming for it: small, nodding bells in soft lemon to butter yellow, about 3 cm across, whose four sepals open out over time to reveal brown to reddish-purple stamens. In a sunny position they give off a fresh lemon scent, and the pinnate, toothed foliage lends the plant a light, almost delicate look.
From August to October 'serratifolia' flowers on new wood, often into November, and then adorns itself with silky seedheads. Growing to 400 cm, it climbs fences, pergolas and trellises, but can equally serve as ground cover or scramble through shrubs. It likes a sunny to partly shaded spot in moist, well-drained soil; the scent is strongest in a sunny position. Bear in mind that it can self-seed freely.
'serratifolia' is quite hardy (zone 5, down to about -28 °C) and very easy to prune: as it flowers on new wood, cut it back to about 25 cm in March. Wear gloves when pruning, as the sap can irritate the skin.

This amazing clematis ought to be called "The Indestructible" - last October I had forgotten it in its pot in a corner of the garden, unfortunately even placed in a bucket, so that it was completely drowned in the torrential rain that came during my holiday. I took it out of the bucket, repentant, put it on the garden table - and had to go away unexpectedly on business a day later. When I came home the clematis was frozen solid. It stayed on the table all winter, and when spring finally came, I was clearing out the garden and, in the course of tidying up, was carrying the Serratifolia to the rubbish, I saw that it was sprouting. And magnificently so!
By now it has a place of honour on a lovely trellis in the middle of my garden, "The Indestructible".Automatically translated · Show original
