F. Young’ is a beautiful deciduous climbing vine admired for its large, mid-blue flowers and elegant flowering display. Its richly coloured blooms create an attractive contrast against fresh green foliage, making it an excellent choice for adding colour and vertical interest to the garden.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nProducing flowers approximately 15–20cm across, ‘H. F. Young’ features broad blue petals that create an impressive display when the plant is in flower.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFlowering from spring through to autumn, this attractive Clematis provides an extended season of colour under suitable growing conditions. Its moderate climbing habit makes it particularly well suited to trellises, archways, fences and other garden supports.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGrowing up to 3 metres high, ‘H. F. Young’ works beautifully in cottage-style gardens, mixed borders and alongside other climbing plants. Its blue flowers pair particularly well with white, pink and soft purple flowering varieties.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAs a deciduous climber, ‘H. F. Young’ loses its foliage during winter before producing fresh growth as the weather warms.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMature size: approximately 2.4–3 metres high, with spread depending on the support and growing conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare \u0026amp; Growing Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPlant in full sun to part shade, ideally in a position receiving morning sunlight with protection from harsh afternoon sun. In Melbourne gardens, a sheltered position will help protect the large flowers during hot summer weather.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nClematis ‘H. F. Young’ prefers fertile, moist but well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Keep the roots cool by applying mulch around the base or planting low-growing companion plants nearby.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWater regularly during establishment and maintain consistent soil moisture throughout the warmer months, particularly while the plant is actively growing and flowering.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nApply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in spring to encourage healthy growth and flowering.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPruning Group 2: Clematis ‘H. F. Young’ flowers on both previous season's growth and new growth. Lightly prune in late winter or early spring, removing dead or damaged stems and trimming remaining growth back to strong, healthy buds.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAvoid hard pruning, as this can reduce the early spring flowering display. A light trim after the first flush of flowers may encourage further flowering later in the season.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nProvide a trellis, climbing frame or other suitable support for the stems to climb. Clematis climbs by wrapping its leaf stalks around slender supports, so fine trellis or garden wire is particularly useful.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Trellises and climbing frames\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Garden arches and obelisks\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Fences and garden structures\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Cottage-style gardens\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Mixed perennial borders\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Growing alongside climbing roses\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Adding vertical garden interest\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Blue-themed garden designs\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Large-flowered garden displays\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Spring to autumn flowering colour\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Creating height in garden beds\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Growing alongside white and pink flowering plants\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Warran Glen Garden Centre \u0026 Cafe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68322063515899,"sku":"chfy20","price":55.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0453\/6601\/8210\/files\/39658_HFYoung.jpg?v=1792041998","url":"https:\/\/warranglen.com.au\/products\/clematis-h-f-young-20cm-pot","provider":"Warran Glen Garden Centre \u0026 Cafe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
