Description
Clematis 'Miss Bateman' is a wonderfully refined climbing leather flower, prized for its poise, clarity of colour, and generous flowering habit. Compact yet vigorous, it slips easily into smaller gardens without ever feeling restrained. In late spring, Clematis 'Miss Bateman' produces a succession of large, single flowers up to 15cm across, each satin-white and softly luminous. Six to eight rounded tepals form a near-perfect disc, with a subtle green stripe visible on the reverse, adding a quiet depth of detail. At the centre, creamy filaments surround rich, dark red anthers, creating a striking contrast that gives the flowers real presence without heaviness.
Exceptionally free-flowering, Clematis 'Miss Bateman' continues into early summer, offering weeks of elegant display when many climbers are only just beginning. It thrives in full sun or light shade, and its moderate size makes it ideal for training up trellis panels, fences, or through shrubs where its crisp colouring lifts surrounding greenery. Easy to live with and unfailingly reliable, Clematis 'Miss Bateman' suits gardeners who favour timeless style over fleeting novelty. Whether planted in a classic border or a contemporary courtyard, Clematis 'Miss Bateman' brings calm, assured beauty and a sense of quiet confidence to the garden.

Useful information
-
Soak the Clematis 'Miss Bateman' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your "Climbing leather flower" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost within a week of delivery and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
