Although Clematis are best known for being climbing plants, this variety, a Clematis integrifolia hybrid, is content to grow in sunny borders or over steep banks rather than up a trellis. The flowers of Clematis 'Alionushka' are also unusual, forming attractive, bell shapes rather than the usual star pattern. However, their colour is just as bright as that of other Old Man's Beards; when the hardy perennial blooms in June, July, August and September, the mauve tone of its petals is sure to turn heads. Height: 2m (6'7). Spread: 1m (3'3). Pruning group 3.

Clematis are climbing plants, so 'Tudor' Old Man's Beard should be grown against a wall or trellis. It can be placed in a flowerbed or patio container; provided it is given plenty of sunlight, it will grow well in most environments. The hardy shrub really comes into its own in May, when its flowers appear. These blooms have a pale pink tone, but each petal is adorned with a darker stripe in its centre. The stamens are a similarly striking red colour. As if this unusual pattern wasn't enough, the blooms are also remarkable in shape. Their wavy edges form ruffles where they curl inwards, making for an extremely interesting display. These flowers last until the late summer, so Clematis 'Tudor' is one of the longest-flowering plants of its kind. Height: 1.5m (4'11). Spread: 1m (3'3). Pruning group 2.
