Insights
An older variety, believed to have been raised from a seedling in 1956, named for Horace Young, a former manager of the Scartho nursery, a branch of Walter Pennell's Lincolnshire nursery, host of a wonderfully productive clematis breeding program. Clematis need their roots to be cool and their heads in the sun, so plant with roots shaded by other plants. Moreover, they will add height to the garden or provide colour to a plain background, such as a fence or wall.
