Styling and inspiration with the Clematis

The Clematis is a plant that offers endless possibilities for creative styling in the garden. Thanks to its climbing properties, this plant can be used almost anywhere, from pergolas and fences to facades and rose arches. The tendrils of the Clematis easily wrap themselves around supports and thus create a beautiful green and colorful screen.

A classic application is to combine a Clematis with a rose. This duo creates a lush and romantic look, especially if you choose colours that contrast beautifully with each other. For example, think of a purple Clematis with a soft pink climbing rose. For a more natural look, you can let the Clematis grow in a tree or shrub. The tendrils wind naturally between the branches, which gives a playful effect.

Do you have a small garden? No problem! The Clematis can also be planted in a large pot. Make sure you have a sturdy climbing support and good potting soil. Place the pot on a terrace or balcony to immediately add height and colour. By combining different types of Clematis, you can enjoy flowers almost all year round, as some varieties bloom in early spring, while others bloom in summer or autumn.

Want to try something different? Use Clematis as a ground cover in large borders or let it grow along a stone wall for a touch of romance. The versatility of Clematis makes it suitable for both sleek, modern gardens and more traditional, country gardens.
