In the garden

Clematis Amazing Tokyo ('Zo07201') sits within the buttercup family and belongs to the long-established tradition of garden clematis cultivars. Many modern hybrids draw on species from East Asia, and this cultivar fulfils the classic role of a flowering climber, carrying its bloom through late spring into late summer. Plant where the crown enjoys some moisture yet drains freely; soils of chalk, clay, loam or sand are all acceptable provided they remain moist but well‑drained and are within an acid to alkaline pH range. Position the plant in full sun or partial shade, and it will cope with exposed or sheltered sites. As H5, it is hardy across most of the UK garden spectrum, so normal outdoor planting is suitable without winter protection in typical conditions. Use Clematis Amazing Tokyo ('Zo07201') on walls, fences, obelisks, pergolas or trained into trees, or grow it in containers and mixed borders where a climbing habit is wanted. Tie young stems in to a support to encourage upward growth and ensure the roots are not left to dry out in summer. Expect a sustained run of flowers from May to September when it has a suitable structure to climb.
