Summary
Clematis tangutica, commonly known as Golden Clematis, is a deciduous perennial vine native to a variety of habitats including mountainous regions, forest margins, and along riverbanks in Central and East Asia. It can grow vigorously to a height of 12-15 feet (4-5 meters) and a width of 6-8 feet (1.8-2.4 meters). This species is characterized by its bell-shaped, bright yellow flowers that bloom in summer and continue into fall, followed by distinctive, feathery seed heads that are also ornamental. The flowers are moderately showy, attracting pollinators and gardeners alike.
Golden Clematis is valued for its rapid growth and vibrant flowers, which can cover trellises, walls, and fences, providing vertical interest in the garden. It is used for ornamental purposes in garden borders, as a screen, or to cover unsightly structures. This vine prefers full sun to part shade and requires well-drained soil with consistent moisture. It is adaptable to various soil types but thrives in those that are fertile and loamy. Pruning group 3 clematis, it should be cut back hard in late winter or early spring to encourage new growth and a profusion of flowers. ’Bill MacKenzie’ and ’Lambton Park’ are popular cultivars known for their vigorous growth and abundant flowering. They have been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. However, Clematis tangutica can be potentially invasive in some regions, such as parts of the United States, and should be planted with caution. It can also be susceptible to clematis wilt, a fungal disease that causes sudden collapse of the plant.CC BY-SA 4.0
