Holder of the Royal Horticultural Society's prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM), 'H. F. Young' is one of the most compact and free-flowering of all the clematis, making it ideal for smaller gardens and growing in containers. Its blue flowers with yellow anthers are produced from late spring to early summer, and again in late summer. To prune, remove any dead or weak stems in late winter or early spring and cut remaining stems back to the highest pair of strong-growing buds. To encourage blooms to cover the whole plant, train the stems so that they are evenly spaced on their support. As new growth appears in mid-spring, train this to fill any gaps.
