A Romantic Cascade of Soft Double Pink Blooms
Clematis montana 'Broughton Star' is a truly breathtaking variety that brings a touch of fairytale magic to the garden. Unlike the more common single-petalled Montanas, 'Broughton Star' features exquisite semi-double, star-shaped flowers in a rich shade of plum-pink that fades to a delicate rose. The layered petals give each bloom a sophisticated, ruffled appearance, standing out beautifully against the young, bronze-tinted foliage that matures into a deep, lush green.
This vigorous climber is a true powerhouse of the spring garden, often becoming completely smothered in flowers during May and June. Beyond its visual charm, it carries a delicate, sweet fragrance reminiscent of vanilla that fills the air on still, warm days. Whether it is allowed to scramble over a garden arch or provide a dense, floral screen along a boundary fence, 'Broughton Star' offers an unparalleled display of vertical beauty and elegance.

At The Rose Press Garden, we love...
We are completely obsessed with the unique "star" shape of these double blooms. While many climbers can look a bit thin, 'Broughton Star' always looks incredibly full and opulent. It’s the plant we recommend when you want your garden to feel like a lush, English country estate—there is simply nothing like the sight of a 'Broughton Star' in full, glorious bloom.
