Clematis montana ‘Mayleen’

Clematis montana ‘Mayleen’ is a vigorous, fast-growing climbing clematis, prized for its masses of soft pink flowers and exceptional sweet vanilla fragrance in late spring. Considered one of the most fragrant montana varieties, it quickly covers walls, fences, pergolas or trellises with a beautiful cascade of colour.

The young foliage emerges with an attractive bronze tint before maturing to fresh green, adding seasonal interest even before flowering begins. Once established, Clematis montana ‘Mayleen’ can grow several metres in height, making it ideal for covering larger structures or adding height and softness to garden planting schemes.

This hardy, low-maintenance climber performs best when planted with its roots in cool, well-drained soil and its stems growing into sun or light shade. Perfect for cottage gardens, wildlife-friendly planting and traditional outdoor spaces.
