Clematis
'Lindsay'
leather flower
Clematis 'Lindsay' is a striking addition to any garden, offering dramatic, star-shaped flowers in a deep purple-blue that seem to glow against its mid-green foliage. Introduced at the 2024 RHS Chelsea Flower Show, this leather flower immediately caught the eye of gardeners and designers alike. Each bloom, measuring up to 15cm across, is accented with vivid red anthers, adding a playful pop of colour and making Clematis 'Lindsay' a true statement climber for trellises, fences, and pergolas.
What makes Clematis 'Lindsay' especially appealing is its free-flowering nature. This clematis doesn’t fuss over pruning schedules – cut it back when you like, and it will keep producing large, attention-grabbing flowers from spring through to late summer, giving at least 100 days of continuous colour. Clematis 'Lindsay' thrives in sunny to partially shaded spots with well-draining soil, making it easy to incorporate into borders or containers. Whether you’re aiming for a vertical spectacle or a vibrant backdrop, Clematis 'Lindsay' delivers XXL blooms, a long season of interest, and effortless charm. With its bold colours and generous flowering habit, Clematis 'Lindsay' is a leather flower that’s as reliable as it is show-stopping, giving any UK garden a touch of Chelsea-worthy drama.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
