The Double Floral Splendour of Clematis 'Hazel Lotus'

Elevate your spring garden with the rare and ethereal beauty of Clematis montana var. chrysocoma 'Hazel Lotus'. This extraordinary variety is a true standout in the Montana family, prized for its unique, semi-double to fully double flowers that resemble miniature lotus blossoms. The petals are a delicate, shimmering shade of soft pink and creamy white, creating a layered, textured effect that is far more intricate than traditional varieties. As it bursts into bloom in late spring, the plant becomes a cascading waterfall of soft colour, transforming garden structures into a romantic masterpiece.

Beyond its visual appeal, 'Hazel Lotus' is a treat for the senses. The blossoms release a subtle, sweet fragrance—reminiscent of vanilla and almonds—that drifts through the garden on warm May afternoons. The young foliage often emerges with a beautiful bronzed tint and a soft, velvety texture (characteristic of the chrysocoma group), providing an elegant backdrop before the green leaves mature. As a vigorous and hardy climber, it is perfect for those looking to cover large areas quickly with a high-end, sophisticated floral display.

Key features:

• Unique Lotus-Like Blooms: Stunning double and semi-double flowers that offer a rare, textured appearance.

• Sweet Spring Fragrance: Infuses the air with a delicate vanilla-almond scent during its peak bloom.

• Vigorous Growth: A strong, fast-growing Montana variety ideal for covering large vertical spaces.

• Attractive Early Foliage: New leaves emerge with a soft bronze glow and a downy texture.

• Prolific Flowering: Produces a massive canopy of blooms in late spring and early summer.

Perfect for:

• Cottage gardens where its romantic, double pink flowers can drape over porches and pergolas.

• Covering large walls or fences quickly with a dense, flowering screen.

• Wildlife gardens, providing essential early-season shelter and scent for garden pollinators.

• Contemporary gardens that value unique, architectural flower forms and vigorous greenery.

At The Rose Press Garden, we love...
The sheer opulence of the double blooms. Most Montana varieties are single-petalled, so 'Hazel Lotus' feels incredibly special and exclusive. We love planting it where it can scramble over a sturdy archway; standing beneath a canopy of these nodding, lotus-shaped flowers while breathing in that sweet spring scent is a highlight of the gardening year. It is the ultimate choice for a high-impact, low-maintenance spring transformation.
